Medical waiver question

[MyKidsDream]

My son got the ArmyROTC acceptance late last year, and he got DODmerb waiver granted yesterday.
He has also received acceptance letter from USCGA, although his DODMerb status for USCGA is "Under Waiver Review".

I have read that one waiver granted does not mean anything for other SA or ROTC. But what are the chances of him getting waiver granted for other SA/ROTC?

It really just depends what the DQ is for. Each service has their own standards. For instance, color blindness is rarely waiverable for the seagoing services, but may be less of an issues for Army or Air Force.

Good news is, if they requested any sort of additional information for his ROTC waiver, hopefully you have everything you need for any other information requests.

Thank you.

Yes we have provided all the documents to DoDMerb, and for all of his applications the status is Under Waiver Review, except Army ROTC (it is Waiver Granted).
