I just went to my DoDMERB on Tuesday for my AFROTC scholarship offer. When I check the status on Dodmets it's showing complete-hold. Is this normal? It also says application pending date 3-31-17 which is still 6 days from now. I know some people on this forum who had complete-hold for weeks and had to redo paperwork. How long should I wait before I call to find out what's going on? Additionally, who should I contact?

Odds of appointment if waiver granted?
Our DS submitted all of the lung function testing and physician's reports last week to DoDMERB as requested by the USMA in their waiver process to evaluate history of childhood asthma. Based on prior history of our DS, and the physician's experience with other candidates, he thinks our DS has a good shot of being granted a waiver. Our DS is academically and physically qualified, and has a congressional nomination. If the waiver is indeed granted, what are the odds of receiving an...

DQ'd for eczema I don't actually have
Basically, my mom called it eczema so dutifully, not wanting to leave anything out I reported I have it. I had a remedial for something else and saw that I was pending dq for eczema. I googled eczema, and I definitely don't have anything as severe as in the pictures, just winter dry skin really. I have visited the dermatologist yearly since I was in grade school(grandfather has melanoma) and she wrote a letter saying that I misspoke and never had eczema. Sent that in at the same time as my...

Help with Medical Waiver Review Please!
My son received an LOA followed by an Offer of Appointment to the USNA in December of 2010 which he proudly accepted.
On March 1, 2011 he had a Grade 2.5 shoulder separation and immediately reported the incident to the academy, as instructed, and was put on medical hold.
He saw an orthopedic surgeon who advised a course of rest and physical therapy. After completion he was deemed fully recovered and allowed 100% full activity with no restrictions. We faxed all the requested medical...

AFROTC and ADD/ADHD waiver?
Good evening!
I'm in the process of joining the AFROTC while I work on my masters, and I'm curious about the ADD/ADHD medical requirements..I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD in the 3rd grade by the third psychiatrist my mother took me to (very popular period for this diagnosis and the previous two doctors said I exhibited no signs of ADD/ADHD, I was just a normal 9 year old) and have been given prescription medication on and off since then. Now, this was not voluntary for me to do. The...

Can you take a DODMERB more than one time?
Hello everyone, I recently received a three year AROTC scholarship and is curious whether I'll have to take the physical test right away since my scholarship won't be active until sophomore year of college? Not only that but if I do take it and something happens, such as over weight and height, is there another chance to take it?

Can I get my DODMERB sent to another school?
I took my DODMERB for USNA but have also applied and got accepted to a Service Academy Prep program at Marion Military Institute. They need a physical and count the DODMERB as one. How can I get them to send it there as well?

Need a waiver.
Ok so I went to meps last year in may and was disqualified to my eye. Basically, I went to went to meps, and they did not do the vision the vision test so the general sent me to the doctor. My recruiter ( national Guard recruiter) took me there, and then came back to meps and the general said he has to disqualify me because the doctor found something in my eye. But he wrote down waiver recommended. But my recruiter did not say anything after that and did not even answer my phone calls. So...

ICL Waiver
I'm currently active duty trying to pursue the green to gold non scholarship option. I received a corrective eye surgery (ICL) in January 2017 while I was in the army by a army surgeon at a army hospital. Keep in mind my vision was fine and correctable 20/20 before and I only got the surgery because it was available to me. For this reason I was DQ'd. Since the surgery I've been cleared for all duty including airborne. All of my packet is complete besides this physical. I've been accepted...

NROTC DQ Chiari and NF
I just received my NROTC 4-year. I am now worried about the DoDMERB, I have Chiari malformation and NF both of which I have no symptoms of and never have. Because of the Chiari I was rated for life insurance so I know it will come up. Any advice?
Thank you.

Waiver for herninated disc
Can there ever be a waiver for a herniated disc (L5/S1)? The disc bulged due to a wrestling injury and after 3 weeks of PT, my kid returned to full contact sports. Football, wrestling, and lacrosse without any pain or limitation.
He had no surgery or any type of invasive procedure.
He is looking at the Army ROTC but is devastated about this injury and its likelihood that it will DQ him.

Waivers between SA's?
I was granted a waiver by the USMMA (still on hold) and denied by USNA, without them ever requesting a waiver. If I do not get into USMMA, and wish to reapply the following year to USNA, will my USMMA waiver have any bearing on the USNA waiver decision? I do understand that each SA has their own people look at the waivers, but I read somewhere that USMMA defers to the Navy on their waiver decisions. Not sure if that is accurate. Just don't want to start the whole application process...
