Waivers looked at individually or as whole?

Hello everyone,
I have several dq's for mental health issues when I was in elementary and middle school, I have been working hard to show that I can succeed with rigor (stress with divorce and other factors compounded original issues), but will still need waivers. When I apply for waivers, does DODMBERB consider the amount of waivers needed, or soley go through the waivers one by one. I.E. will the amount of waivers I need affect my chances of getting waivers, and if they go through them individually, is it a Yes No Yes type of thing, or is it blanket no no no or yes yes yes. Thank you all for any input you may have.
 
Everything will be looked at.

There isn’t a direct answer to your question.

I would suspect that some DQ’s have several sub category DQ’s that go alongside with them. Idk but it would make sense.

You should also understand that DODMERB only provides Q/DQ against set standards.

The individual waiver authority (ie, NROTC, USMA, or xxx) is who decides whether to waive a DQ or not.

Some can be waived, others cannot, some are with time passed, some are waived in a certain quantity.
 
I think it could be any combination that you mentioned. Just understand that all DQ's have to be waived by the commissioning source in order to be medically qualified. So the more waivers you need does decrease the chances of getting medically qualified as you just have more chances for a no to a waiver. All yes's but one is really the same result as all no's.

As justdoit19 mentioned
Some can be waived, others cannot, some are with time passed, some are waived in a certain quantity.

All you can do is just provide any additional AMI if requested and wait and see what happens. I recommend worrying more about plan b,c,d as that is something you have control over. Once you receive word about waiver decisions, you can figure out next steps from there.

Now seeing how many waivers you got or didn't get can be part of your decision about reapplying next year if you don't get a waiver, but I would worry about that after the decisions have been made.
