Hello,
I have been given conditional appointment to USCGA. I have a shellfish allergy to which I only ever had one reaction 9 years, which was hives and went away overnight, by itself without any medication. I have never been prescribed any Epi-pens or anything for it. I have not been officially diagnosed either(on my DoDMERB, my physical I put my mom diagnosed me- its all really speculative), I just put that I had the allergy because of mild hives that happened after eating shrimp. I want to be pro-active in ensuring I get a medical waiver for this gets taken care of. my family still eats shrimp around me, its just I don't.
How can I be pro-active during the medical waiver process, and what are my chances of getting a waiver since I have a conditional appointment
