Hi!
I got an LOA to the academy in October and just received my nomination. I got disqualified because of “D156.10 Color vision deficiency that does not meet individual Services' standards.” And it says its pending waiver submission review. I am super committed to the academy and will do whatever it takes. It is worth nothing that i never even knew i had this deficiency till the DODMERB exam.
Now I know none of you are doctors or the medical staff but I was just wondering if someone had experience or heard of cases like this. I have an LOA, and a nomination and I am quite literally 99% of the way there. I heard getting waivers for these aren’t too common. It sucks even more because I never knew I was affected by this deficiency and that is what is bringing me down. Can i talk to someone at USNA and plead my case about never having this affect anything in my life, not knowing about it, and all that? Please advise if you can. Thank you so much!
