Uveitis waiver for AF

[ROTC Mom KS]

Is Uveitis a waivable disqualification for the AF and if so, what is the likelihood of getting the waiver? Thanks.

My guess is no but then again it is a guess. Depends on the candidates package and what USAFA is looking for. Sorry. I would have a back up plan. https://www.med.navy.mil/sites/nmotc/nami/arwg/Documents/WaiverGuide/DODI_6130.03_JUL12.pdf

It’s going to depend. Was it just one episode? Then I could possibly see a waiver being given. Was it a traumatic iritis? Then I can definitely see a waiver.

If it’s a history of recurrent iritis, such as JIA, then I would think a waiver would be difficult to obtain.
