Hey all - I was wondering if the two following conditions I have/had would initially disqualify me in the DoDMERB process and require waivers from USAFA.
1. I had self-diagnosed shin splints 6 months ago due to running long distances in non-running shoes. I fixed the issue by getting running shoes and the shin splints went away. Will this self-diagnosed problem that I reported on the questionnaire disqualify me / require a wavier?
2. I wear contacts with the powers of -1.5 and -1.75, with very slight astigmatism. The optometrist appointment requires me to not wear contacts, so I will not have 20/20 vision when they test me there. Is that something that would require a waiver?
Also, my physical appointment is in mid-January and my optometrist appointment is in late January. These are the earliest that my assigned clinics had available. Will the relatively late dates be a problem in my application process in any way?
Thanks for any help.
