Waiver process help

[reproglej]

My son Hunter has applied to the West Point Military Academy and has met all requirements. He has been identified as a competitive candidate. He recently got a notification that he was disqualified for a stress fracture that happened during his junior year track season. The West Point military Academy moved him to a waiver status. We have not heard anything since they placed him in the waiver status. In an email my son received it said he has untill April 15th to complete the waiver process yes. We have not heard anything from Dodmerb requesting new or additional medical information.
Can we send information directly to Dodmerb from our doctor that states he was released a year ago for full participation without any restrictions? My son has participated in 3 varsity sports over the course of his senior school year without complications from the stress fracture.
Please advise.

I am in no way an expert, however I also needed a waiver. I had a surgery a while back that dq'ed me, all I did is I sent a letter from my surgeon and general physician stating:

1. The issue not reobtainable
2. I have no lasting symptoms
3. I take no medication for it.

I recieved a waiver very shortly after they recieved the letters. I'm not sure if all 3 of these are applicable to your son's situation, but from what I gathered prior to sending in the letters, these are the 3 main things they look for in "history of" dq waivers.

Thanks for your reply. Can we just send it to Dodmerb? Do we use fax or email? What info do we include?

Hunter will be home from practice soon and will be sending you an email. Thanks in advance. We have doctor reports and statements ready, who do we need to send them to? Email or fax?
