Whats the difference

[LadderdaddyO]

Does anyone know what the difference between the two status listed below? My daughters DODMERM page shows
Current Medical Status: Qualified (USNA/CGA)
Current Medical Status: Qualified Unrestricted Line (NROTC)

It means she medically qualified for all three programs. "Unrestricted line" means what it says: There are no restrictions for "line" officer type positions. NROTC uses that designation, becase someone can be a Marine Corps Option, within NROTC, and NOT have the same medical qualifications. The USNA requires all midshipmen to have that DoDMERB certification upon admission, unless a special waiver is applied by the USNA. Marine Corps selection for midshipmen at the USNA, does NOT occur until their Junior year.

Mr Mullen, while we are on this subject, or one close to it (or perhaps it should be on a different thread?), does the NROTC application require a separate and distinct DoDMERB qualification as suggested by this thread?

I was under the impression that the application (and supporting documentation) was shared between USNA and NROTC.

Can anyone else answer this question?

Each apoplication will have a medical status. If you apply for 2 programs, you'll receive 2 statuses; 3, 3, etc. So an applicant that applies to USNA and NROTC will have two medical statuses; one for each.
