I am working on appealing a waiver denial for West Point and waiting to hear back from USNA and USAFA. Does anyone know the medical accession standards for hearing for various combat jobs? Specifically:
Hearing Standards for STOs, CROs, etc.
Hearing Standards for SEAL Officers
Hearing Standards for Army Infantry/Ranger Officers
Different Branches' pilot hearing standards
I am pretty positive the hearing standards for SEAL officers just require you to meet standards in one ear, and I have zero problems in my right ear. If I can use the fact that I would still qualify for any job in my argument, it may help my case. I do find it strange the accession standards are much more strict to get into the academy when the job requirements are much less. I understand the logic that once you put money into the person, they are willing to work with you more, but isn't the whole point that they do not want to put others at risk? Am I not just as much of a risk if I enlist? I meet the standards for enlisting.
If anyone can find information on this, please show me. I am the only one to receive a nomination for USMA from my district, so I am hopeful for an appt. I have time to fight for a waiver. I am requesting any help or support people can offer.
