Was DQ'ed for childhood asthma several months ago. Received NROTC-MO scholarship offer right before Christmas. Two questions.

1. Is there any downside to mentioning to the need for a waiver to my contact (Executive Officer) at the recruiting center?

2. Do I need to do anything affirmative to kick off the waiver process? I thought it was automatic - but my DODMERB status hasn't changed in anyway.

Thanks,
 
@rholt - Did the DQ come as part of the application process to a Service Academy? Normally, DODMERB comes after the scholarship selection for NROTC. As such, this is probably a timing issue.

I see no need to mention it to the XO at this time. No harm, just no need.

There is a lot of information on the waiver process, but my suggestion would be to start gathering up copies of all medical records on this subject. You may have to see a specialist for an evaluation and submit that back to DODMERB.

There are a lot of posters with experience on this and I am sure some will weigh in with good advice. In the meantime, search the Forums for information on asthma and NROTC waivers.
 
Thanks - I should add that my son has already has (back in November) submitted several pieces of supplemental information (additional pulmonologist test result) tot DODMERB.
