We too are waiting a final decision on a medical waiver and also have an LOA. Candidate Portal page went from Required Actions: Medical Qualification to None today so guessing some decision was made...just don't know which way... With DoDMERB down, it's been a bit frustrating.
@Stacimcd3 , did you get an email or just a letter? Was there any update on the Candidate Portal?
Thanks!

His candidate portal was changed to Turned Down Medically.
Was he being recruited to play on Navy's football team?He was turned down for a herniated disc that he received as a result of football injury when he was a freshman. He did not require surgery and he went through physical therapy. He only missed 2 games and went on to be a varsity starting middle linebacker all through high school. He was team captain and voted defensive player of the year his senior year. Frankly, we are stunned that they turned him down. He has no lingering issues due to this injury.

I hate to be a downer but a turndown is a final decision. Thus, I would be very wary of paying anyone at this point unless you plan to reapply next year, in which case it might well make sense.
Yeah, the terminology is important. I mean, my son was DQ'd three or four times, but the term "turndown" never appeared.
