Hi all,
I have been accepted for a 4 year AROTC scholarship. I am currently going through the DODMERB process. A couple of years ago, I got a diagnosis for a Scheuermann's syndrome, a form of kyphosis. This means that I have a slight rounding in my upper spine, but it has never resulted in any pain or other complications. The doctor said my case was so mild that he recommended a second opinion just to be sure I actually had a true diagnosis (I never got a second opinion given that my back has never given me any trouble). Besides this one thing, I have no other medical issues. Perfect vision, no allergies, no asthma etc. Is there any chance I don't get medically cleared for this Scheuermann's syndrome?
