That means it's only for the Academy, not for the Prep School

5% is still not 0% ... keep positive and best of luck ... keeping positive thoughts for you!Even though my son received an appointment, it looks like my sons chances of getting into the Coast Guard Academy went from 100% to about 5% after talking with a Coast Guard Academy rep the other day. After my son informed him that DodMERB results showed him to be color deficient the rep said he would need to get another test done (probably Farnsworth Lantern test) and that if he didn't pass that one he would be disqualified. My son assumed DodMERB sent the results back in October to the CGA.
DoDMERB probably did provide the results/status to us in October, but we don't consider an applicant's medical status when reviewing their record. Medical status determines whether or not someone receives a conditional or full appointment, but not whether or not we accept them.Even though my son received an appointment, it looks like my sons chances of getting into the Coast Guard Academy went from 100% to about 5% after talking with a Coast Guard Academy rep the other day.

Our daughter was granted a conditional appointment pending DoDMERB granting her a waiver for ear tubes. Can anyone clue me in on how long the process is to find out if a waiver has been given? Or even if ear tubes will be a disqualification? From what I see online, it isn't, but can anyone offer any insight? Much appreciated!
and a ton of grey hairs - best of luck to her!My daughter has a remedial/AMI to complete as well. My understanding is that DoDMERB only makes the qualified/disqualified decision and forwards that to CGA. If she is DQd by DoDMERB, she will be automatically submitted to CGA for waiver consideration. She is on it this week while she is on break, but the track coach said that a final decision can take until April. Hopefully it won't take that long! The way I think of this process is "A marathon of sprints!"

I think they contact you if they need more info, but I've also read it's a good idea to stay in touch with her AOThat is very helpful! Thank you! By then, her tubes will be out! [emoji12]. Are you supposed to contact anyone to see if they will need any additional information for the waiver decision?

- DS on Eagle in 2015 ... his adventure begins officially 26 June 2017.Great news for the 25 listed. You new life begins on R Day. Be strong those 6 weeks. Watch each other's back. Then enjoy your week sail on Eagle.
those 2 weeks change his course in life ... instead of wanting to head to annapolis ... he was hell bent on new london from the moment he came home!Great picture. As a sailor I can appreciate being on the ocean. Such a wonderful experience!
