Actively in AROTC on 3-year scholarship entering 2nd year in college and the ROTC program. Received medical waiver a year ago before freshman year. Revisted DODMERB site recently and see 1) the waiver granted from last year, 2) waiver withdrawn. This is the first I've heard of it. Any insight to what this means?
 
Curious why you were looking into this? If you are on scholarship, with an issued waiver?

No experience with this. But curious they ‘why’ that led to your checking in the first place.

Good question: Was printing old files that I had uploaded.

You may want to reach out prior to school starting just to get clarification. If something happened to your waiver, then you are no longer medically qualified, so that could effect your scholarship. If it was me, I would want to know that prior to being at school to start figuring out what to do and how to fix it. Hopefully it is just a weird computer glitch or something like that, but its better to know sooner rather than later.

Contact your assigned DoDMERB case manager. They play a key role in what statuses are in the system.

Your unit is not abandoned over the summer just because cadets aren’t around. The civilian support people are usually holding the fort, with military staff cycling through if they are not on the road for summer training. You should determine what the worst case is if it turns out you no longer have a waiver and what that means for your status. Now is not the time to look away from a potential problem and wait until school starts.

Be proactive, not reactive. A good junior officer learns to grapple with potential problems earlier rather than later.
