Hello, I am getting ready to take a DODMERB for the USCGA, does anyone know if I will get DQ'd? Does anyone have any experience with this? I have a severe peanut allergy, it is anyphylaxtic, I do have prescribed epi pens since I was very young. I found out about my allergy when I was about 1 when I ate a ritz cracker with PB on it and I had a severe reaction. Since then I have never had to use my epi pens. Could I get a waiver. Thanks in advance

NROTC-MO Hearing DQ
As the title states, I was DQ from NROTC-MO due to hearing. This is really disappointing, as all I want is to go to TAMU, then become an Officer. I feel my situation is unique from others in this forum as previously I have passed a hearing test at MEPS when I was going to enlist. Although the hearing test for the scholarship was more recent, it was not performed in a quiet room. I was able to hear footsteps and doors closing in the background while the test was going on. I called a DODMERB...

USAFA Waiver Request
I am a candidate for USAFA and USNA, but I was medically disqualified by DoDMERB. On January 5th, USAFA notified me that they requested a medical waiver for me on my behalf, but my DoDMERB portal still displays "Pending Waiver Submission/Review" and the last update was made on September 25th, 2017. Is this normal? And if not, what should I do?

Advice/Opinions on Possible Medical DQ before I try?
Hello, I'm currently a Sophomore in College, been wishing to join ROTC for my last two years and army in the future.
However, my medical history came back to bite me in the A**. Though I haven't really started this path at all yet, because I have a past history of(and know its a DQ factor):

AROTC Medical Qualification Question
My son was just awarded a four year AROTC Scholarship. When he received the letter it says he is not yet medically qualified . He completed medical exam in the fall and is qualified for West Point, Air Force and Coast Guard Academy. How does he determine what is missing or is there another step for ROTC?

Vision Disqualified
got 3yr scholarship. Medical/vision completed in May2017. Then Nov 2017 needed re test. Completed vision 20/20 and 20/40 with correction and diagnosed with lazy eye since birth.
Now they are are saying I’m disqualified. Will a waiver be automatically reviewed?
How do I find out current status if final disqualified or being reviewed for waiver?
Thank you

Waiver Denied
DS found out from his RC yesterday that his waiver had been denied. Is there any way to appeal a waiver denial? I suspect that this is the end of the road.

Raynaud Waiver
I am currently an AROTC cadet with a 3Y AD Scholarship. I am 99% sure I have Raynauds Syndrome, and understand that it's a DQ. I have not gotten it officially diagnosed yet though. How would you go about this? I don't want to just give up on the military but I don't want to get caught lying. If I do get it officially diagnosed, are there any chances of a medical waiver being approved? I just don't know what to do. Would they allow it depending on the job I am given?

USMA Waiver Deadline - When?
Hello,
I’m currently waiting on DoDMERB to decide whether to reject or grant the waiver request USMA sent out on January 23. I understand the importance of patience during the waiver process, but something has been burning in the back of my mind.
I read on my candidate portal that I should expect to wait 90-120 days for DoDMERB to make a decision. However, should the government suffer another crippling shutdown, a 120 day wait would put me in late May. I’m worried that by then it will be...

2Q Letter?
DS just had what amounts to a 2Q letter uploaded to his portal. It says he is qualified academically and for physical aptitude but that his medical status in undetermined. The thing is DS talked to RC on Monday who indicated that his waiver had been denied. Why would todays letter say that his medical status is undetermined if the waiver had been denied.

'Partially Closed' - DoDMERB TMRW!
I have my DoDMERB medical exam tomorrow and I had my eye exam in December 2017.
I just finished all of the survey questions on my medical packet on DoDMETS. I am trying to e-sign the survey because the website says I need to have it signed to bring to the appointment. However it says my status is "Partially Closed" and I cannot sign the packet. It says "Signature Not Permitted."
Why is this happening? I saw on other threads that it is because I have already done the eye exam, but that...

Remedial-Should I be worried
USMA Applicant
My DD finally got the remedial posted and we emailed the information requested today.
She had severe cystic acne and has a lot of scarring, she has been on medication (menocyln) and currently has no acne present. Do you think we should be concerned that this will make her unqualified? We just had to send in pictures.
Also they are saying that it will take 30 days or longer to process, that puts us at the middle of March. Is this hurting her chances of getting an appointment...

Waiver?
So I just got Medically DQ’d due to Astigmatism.
I just checked my portal today and under USNA, it says “Pending Waiver Submission/Review,” but under USAFA, it says “Does not meet Medical standards.”
I don’t have a nomination for USNA, but I have a nomination for USAFA.
Does this mean that USAFA has not yet reviewed my file, and might request for a waiver sooner or later? Or am I officially out of the game?
Does this also mean that I am highly considered for USNA’s prep or foundation...

Dq
I was given two dq codes for the academies and arotc having to do deal with hip surgeries I’ve had. One of the codes is inaccurate as in I’ve never had the problem of dislocated hips in my life and today my orthopedic surgeon wrote a letter stating as much. I turned the letter in to dodmerb but since I’ve already been disqualified and it’s in a waiver process will this do any good? Also will the West Point General surgeon be able to see this letter I turned into to dodmerb.
