What happens if Waiver is denied

[puzzled]

Good Afternoon All,

I received a national NROTC scholarship this April as a college programmer at my Unit.
I went through DoDMERB and received a single DQ for eczema.
The waiver authorities are yet to make a decision regarding my case and have not yet asked for additional information or anything.

Worst case scenario, they deny my waiver. If that is the case, is there any way for me to provide additional documentation to help my case?
Also, would this prevent me from applying for Navy OCS later on, or could I provide additional documentation at that time stating that I have been clear of eczema for more than 5 years at this point (how many ever years at the time of OCS application)?

Thank you!

I would have to imagine that if the Eczema gets you DQ for Rotc, it will probably do so for OCS

1) Do you really have eczema? If not, then read this story

2) If so, then I bet you think "no big deal"...except you can't get the smallpox vaccine which some military people need.

They need to vaccinate you against smallpox to send you to Turkey, South Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, and a myriad of other places. If you have Eczema and you get the smallpox vaccine, you could DIE.

I do know about the smallpox vaccine and the potentially disastrous results of it. At this point, I know some cases have been waivered and some have not (obviously). I'll just have to wait and see
