Waiver for Osteochondroma

[StixTheNerd]

Hi guys, I have one non-recurring osteochondroma on my left arm. An osteochondroma is a small bone growth out the side. It does not affect me in any way and I can't even tell it is there. I only know it's there because of X-rays. Would I need a waiver for this? Thanks.

I am not sure about the other services, but current or history of osteochondromatosis is a DQing condition for the Army. I am not a doctor so I do not know the differences between osteochondroma and osteochondromatosis.

So it's a permanent DQ with no waiver available?

Waivers are available for most DQs. The are very few conditions that are non waivirable. Here is the best list I have seen on army non waiverable conditions. https://www.jmu.edu/rotc/prospective-cadets/Non-waiverable medical conditions.pdf

Thanks! I was worried because someone told me it was a permanent DQ.
