Remedial Statement

[owlsubs]

DD was requested to make a remedial statement regarding a condition(prefer to remain confidential) that would probably DQ her and we fear it may be non-waiverable as well. The remedial asks for when and how condition occurred, any treatment required, and any other pertinent information. How objective does this statement have to be? Is it possible appealing could help her case?
Thank you for your help!

I think the experts here will tell you to answer the questions honestly, giving no more information than is required.

Read the question carefully, answer it accurately, with no more and no less than the information requested.

Take it a step at a time. The condition, if a DQ per the DODINST, may be waiverable, may be waiverable up to a certain number of waivers per cycle, may never be waiverable. It is a process.

Keep in mind the big picture. The physical bar is set very high for pre-comm programs; it is not arbitrary. The military needs people with their parts in the best working condition and minimal risk of breaking. Military folks operate in harsh, extraordinarily high stress environments, often far from advanced medical care, where the safety of others can often depend on every last person being able to contribute and not impact the unit’s readiness for health reasons. The services have different missions, different operating environments, different gear, hence the different waiver policies in each service.

Take a deep breath, keep going, work alternate plans, hope for the best.

If applicable, include a statement as to current activities that indicate the disqualifying 'condition' is not limiting. For example - Asthma diagnosed at age 12 with prescription past 13th birthday. Participating in varsity cross country and soccer xxx years with no open prescription or use of an inhaler. Another example - when released for full activity on xxx date after xxx orthopedic surgery I compete as a starter in varsity wrestling, soccer, or xxx with no limitations. Ran xxx 5K races since xxx date. The same type of examples can be used for other disqualifying conditions if they don't limit full participation. I can't help with examples if the disqualifying condition is mental health, eyes, or hearing- but I am confident there are some waivers granted.

I have maybe a dumb question....I have seen people here talk about "appealing waiver denials". I am unaware of any method of doing such a procedure, how are you planning on approaching this? I thought the Waiver Authority's decision was final?
