This question may sound weird, but is there a way of requesting a DODMERB for a high school senior?
My son has had been diagnosed with migraines, controlled with OTC (non-prescription) medication. He's had around 4-5 in the last 2 years. I have read that in some cases that medically disqualifies you.
He's been accepted to several SMColleges, plans to do ROTC and applied for the Army ROTC scholarship. If he wins, I know he has to do DODMERB in order to get the scholarship. But if he doesn't, he won't do a DODMERB until late freshmen/early sophomore year.
What I am worried about is that if he doesn't pass and doesn't get a waiver, then he cannot have a military career. If he could know that fact NOW, it may influence which school he goes to, which major, whether he should to ROTC at all, etc.
Any thoughts?
