Hello all, my DS was recently granted a waiver after a long 3 month process. I was wondering if he had to go through another waiver process when he commissions? Does his waiver limit him on his service selection and does his waiver follow him throughout his time at USNA? Thank you
 
He will have a pre-commissioning physical during his 2/C year. Its fairly in depth. The results of that physical and any follow on testing or reviews required will determine what he is physically qualified for to commission as. Each service community has its own physical qualifications that he will need to meet.
 
He will go through a pre-comm physical process during his last 2 years. That will confirm eligibility to commission as well as what warfare community paths are open to him. If he goes aviation after commissioning, there is another flight physical prices in Pensacola.

Just focus on the fact he is in for now. The majority of people move right along with no further bumps in the physical area.
 
Thank you. I completely understand the physical tests but I was wondering if he would have to complete the Dodmerb process again of some sort or readdress the DQ's before commissioning? His DQ was for an allergy and was wondering if he would be tested again?

The “system” allows for a certain number of involuntary medical attrites during the 4 years.

If the mid is found to be medically unqualified for commissioning the first two years, they are separated. It could be worsening or recurrence of a waivered issue or something new. We have had sponsor mids develop diabetes, testicular cancer, metastasizing melanoma and other stuff, who were separated. They have some eligibility with the VA for medical benefits, but that is discussed in many other threads.

After a mid commits to his or her service obligation at the start of 2/c year, the Superintendent has the discretion to allow them to continue to get their degree and graduate with their class, but not commission. That is on a case basis consistent with the needs of the Navy.

Any financial obligation if allowed to graduate and not commission?

I am sorry I did not make it clear.

The pre-comm physical process is very thorough and is under the control of USNA and the Navy medical system. Current health is evaluated against the same DOD standard used by DoDMERB. Histories are reviewed. Waivered conditions will be evaluated to determine if any changes have occurred, especially for the worse. If the mid needs to go over to Walter Reed NMMC to see a specialist for re-evaluation, he or she will be sent. If a waiver was issued for accession to USNA, and the condition has not worsened to the point of being unwaiverable, IMHO all should be well.

By the time the mid has committed to the ADSO at the start of 2/c year, everyone is invested in doing whatever they can to keep him or her.
