Was wondering if anyone was having trouble with their medical waiver and have heard of anything considering the deadline is still April 15th?

Also, sorry to hear this. I know it can be heartbreaking, especially after such a long wait.

My DS was called by his RC this morning. USMA waiver requested in January. Mild sports concussions in HS (soccer goalie). He was a re-applicant so they were several years ago without any current symptoms. Yes, disappointing but waiting for USNA decision on same. Has an LOA there but not at USMA. Remaining hopeful.

Can I ask when in January? Mine was from early February so there's still a little bit of leeway I would hope.

suzieb2002 - Comply with the red sections. If you send to me tonight, I will answer either very late tonight or very early tomorrow morning
NOTE: I will refer to this thread often, because my having to write it many times a day, takes valuable time away from MY answering YOUR questions
.
BLUF (BOTTOM LINES UP FRONT):
1. When communicating with DoDMERB (or almost ALL Government organizations), somewhere in your requests should be your complete legal name and last 4 of your SSN (Social Security Number). John Q. Public 1234 or John NMI (No middle initial) Public 1234.
2. If there was already an email string, do NOT send an independent free-standing email. For someone to adequately answer you, previous context of who you are and what was the issue being discussed, is extremely helpful.
3. FOR THIS FORUM ONLY: when communicating with me, send me an email at DODMERB_SAFORUMS@yahoo.com.
4. FOR THIS FORUM ONLY: State this in your email = “ Your Forums Name - Your complete name & Last 4 - the main word/phrase of your query posted on SA FORUMS.”
5. Before asking me question, go to https://dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil; Hit “Questions about the Process” on the left side of the home page. 99.9% of your general policy questions can be answered there.
DISCUSSION:
The myriad of name combinations are in the RANGE OF INFINITY. “Hi! This is Max Smith” (Real name is John A. Smith) Hi! This is Maria Rodriguez (Real name Maria-Kristine Perez-Rodriguez-Colon).
DoDMERB does not use/have access to candidate numbers.
So, if you want an expeditious answer, you need to help YOU help YOURSELF. You get the point.

Some facts and some guesses
1. This isn't official government business. This is Mr Mullen offering assistance out of his vast knowledge and own personal time.
2. Mr Mullen may not be able to access his official government account from home for security reasons.
3. It prevents official government systems from being contaminated with whatever virus might come along with your email
