<p>If you get a waiver for, say vision, does it show up on the DoDMERB site?</p>
<p>i had to get a waiver for vision and for something else. the website says "waiver granted"... doesn't specify which one, but i called usna and they told me i got both of them.</p>
<p>When did you get the waivers?</p>
<p>i found out i got them march 21</p>
<p>did you give them any help for the waivers or any tests?</p>
<p>Thought I should be a bit more detailed... I found out I got the waivers on March 21 because I called the admissions office and asked when I could expect to know whether or not I'd be getting any waivers. They told me I already had them. The next day I got my appointment letter dated March 17, so obviously I'd had the waivers for a while. I checked dodmerb's site the day I got my appointment, and it said my status was pending a waiver. About a week later I checked again and it said I had a waiver... so the moral of the story is, dodmerb isn't the most up to date on these things, and if you really want to know your status, call the academy.</p>
<p>Eye waiver, I didn't do anything at all for. The other one was for "history of a mood disorder." Apparently any counseling falls in this category... So I wrote a letter to the Senior Medical Officer explaining that I got counseling only (no meds) after the suicide of a classmate in 9th grade, that I hadn't experienced any depression since, and that I thought that rather than making me a less capable officer, I believe that my experience has made me more mature and wise, better able to handle the sorts of situations I'm likely to face as an officer and better able to offer counsel to others who may have similar experiences in the future... there's a general form letter you're supposed to follow that you can find at the usna website... I think there's a link to it in the steps for admission under "get medically qualified" or something like that.</p>
