My DoDMERB status recently changed from being under review to Qualified. How long does it take to get the status to SAs?

Do I report new scars?

I’ve earned a couple new scars from various injuries since my DoDMERB exam. Do I report new scars or just wait to see if they fade before the summer? The ones been around for about 5 months and the others are a month old. I’m not sure if they’ll fade but they’re pretty noticeable, people ask about them.

Help!

Hi, DD received a letter Monday asking for three more pieces of info AMI. We’ve left messages and emails and we have gotten no response. I know they were shut down for two Days because of the blizzard but obviously we need to get this done ASAP. DD applying to Kings Point. They say she needs another Concorde dr appointment and that a physician was assigned. But when she logs into dodmets no physician listed. I am worried she is running out of time.

Potential Pilot Qualified (PPQ)

Is there anyway to check if I am potential pilot qualified on the DoDMERB site or USAFA/AFROTC sites?

There are some other threads about this, and they say that if your status is "commission qualified" you are NOT PPQ. But they are a few years old, and things may have changed.

My DODMERB status is "Qualified", but it says nothing about pilot. As far as I know (for AFROTC at least) you can't even compete for a pilot slot if your DODMERB isn't PPQ.

Thanks everyone!

Hi,
I’ve taken a DodMERB physical for the service academies and now I am speaking to a recruiter about enlisting. My recruiter said he would like to get a physical copy of my DodMERB physical to help with MEPS (I am qualified through DodMERB but I have some medical issues that could be questionable at MEPS). Is there any way I could get a copy of my physical for him?
Thank you!

Trying to figure out what is going on, maybe somebody here can shed some light.
Last DODMERB update was:
08-Feb-19 Date letter sent - Reviewed Medical at Program(s) Request
The request was for remedials which were done right away. DD called to confirm that DODMERB had the results from Concorde. The technician confirmed that they had received the results on 2/22 and they were under review.
It's now a month later and the status remains Pending Waiver Submission/Review, the request for...

For months my son's DoDMerb status has shown... "Current Medical Status: Remedial Requested." Does this mean his AMI has been reviewed and who is requesting the remedial?

Thank You for any information you can provide.

Stressing out in MI over DS with history of mood disorder. When he was 9, mom was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and the household was upside down and anxious. We got DS to therapy and he was medicated (low dose) for anxiety and depression. Lots of talk therapy. They also gave him a low dose of ADHD drug to help him focus for a bit. Last treated at age 12 or 13....strong, fine person and better for the experience.

Trying now to achieve his dreams of USAFA, but alarmed by DQ. If the...

Ughhh...so, our student was accepted to the Academy, has a nomination, etc. but learned that she has been medically disqualified due to a 'mood disorder.' History is that she did discuss concerns with her mood (i.e. some anxiety with school, social situations) with her pediatricians (twice) in the past 18-24 months. About a year ago, she did a brief trial on medication (low dose of Zoloft--or other similar med) for a few months and decided that she wanted to go off the medication because she...

I was awarded a NROTC scholarship and have completed my medical examinations but I had psoriasis when I was 13 (has never comeback) so I’m anticipating a DQ. USC, UCLA, and UCB come out this week or next week and I plan on attending one of them if I get it in. My question is what if I’m not medically qualified by May 1st, I accept my admission then NROTC DQs me. I’m really relying on the money from NROTC to pay for the tuition. Could I pull out from the school? Also at what time do you have...

I recently was dq by DODMERB for high blood pressure. I attend one of the maritime academy's and was on track to become a Strategic Sealift Officer. My Lt applied for a waiver but his request was denied. After contacting a commander he found a way to appeal the denial of the waiver and to contest DODMERB. Has anyone had experience with this appeal process and is it usually successful?

Hello, I am hoping that someone will be able to provide some insight/advice on a situation I am currently dealing with. Background - a freshman with a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship. A month ago I had a reaction to something in an MRE. I reported the issue to my squad leader who instructed me to report the issue to my senior officer. I was sent for an allergy test. The blood test just came back and it turns out I am allergic to nuts. I have never had an issue before. I have never liked nuts,...

Echo results

My son just had an echo completed. We sent the written report to DoDMERB, but have received notification that it is insufficient. We received a disc from the cardiologist, but are unsure how to get that disc to DoDMERB. We have asked our case manager, but are still waiting for a response. Should we be doing something else? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

DodMerb Qualified but now having Surgery

My son has been approved through DodMerb. It was noted that he had a deviated septum but with no problems. He's scheduled to have it fixed just to make it easier to breathe. He's been a competitive swimmer and it's never been an issue. Outpatient surgery is scheduled for the first week in April and the ENT expects him to resume full activities by the following week. So how is this reported? And I'm assuming that it would mean he then becomes disqualified and hopefully receives a waiver? Thanks.

My son was awarded a 4-year AROTC scholarship pending medical qualification in the first board. He learned through the DoDMERB website a couple weeks ago that he was medically disqualified due to Hyperhidrosis. His only knowledge of the dq was the DoDMERB website (he never received a letter or anything). He's not really sure who to contact - he's called his person at DoDMERB, ROTC at the university where he plans to attend, and the Brigade Administrator who told him that a waiver request has...

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the website and the timeline associated with it.

Backstory, tried to go to OCS after undergrad and was DQ'd from MEPS before I had been re-evaluated from VA or before I had any documentation from the VA about my diagnosis. Decided to pursue a Masters and ROTC.



I was diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder from the VA but was quick to re-evaluated and removed. Once I found out what the VA diagnosed me with I reached out to get re-evaluated. As the VA does it took almost 2 years to get re-evaluated and to have it removed.



According to the...

If I have already gone through the process of getting my DODMERB done for my application process for USAFA, do I have to go through the process again if I choose to accept my AFROTC scholarship?

Note: I've already been through the medical process and was cleared.

Ok I'm going to be a bit more detailed after my doctors appointment today. I got an x-ray on my ribs today because I may have pectus carinatum but the DoD states this:

i. Current chest wall malformation, including but not limited to pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum which has been symptomatic, interfered with vigorous physical exertion, has been recommended for surgery, or may interfere with wearing military equipment....
