DODMERB determines if you are medically qualified for the program. Physicals normally take 6-8 weeks to process. Scholarship winners are advised that no scholarship will be activated until the individual is medically qualified for a commission. The process is lengthy and may involve several months of processing and correspondence.
If you are found to be medically disqualified, a waiver request will be automatically forwarded from DODMERB to AETC/SG for consideration. If your waiver request is denied and you believe there are extenuating circumstances that justify further consideration, follow the DODMERB instructions (with notification letter) regarding rebuttals.
If you have a medical question, DODMERB is your only official source of information. Write DODMERB, Colorado Springs, CO, 80840-2200, or call (719) 333-3562.
