<p>Anxious mom I know exactly how you are feeling. My son and our entire family went through the same thing last year. I know your son wants to play by the rules but I think it is important to call his admission's counselor/regional director and let him or her know how important this appointment is to your son and what his or her advice is regarding the waiver. I truly believe my son's admissions counselor's advice and input was critical to his apppointment and waiver. She told him to move up his the time for his candidate visit and she would set up an appointment with the Captain in charge of medical examinations. My son was disqualified for his speech so she felt that he needed to have another reading aloud exam. The meeting went well in early February and three days letter he received his LOA. He was told the LOA was issued to let him know that the appoinment was coming once the waiver was obtained. The LOA was to give his confidence but he was on pins and needles until he recieved the waiver 6 weeks later. The fact your son already has a LOA I feel is an excellent sign. Call your admissions counselor/regional director and get his or her input and they will be upfront and very helpful.</p>
<p>Hang in there and good luck to your son.</p>
