<p>Not true.</p>
<p>I know of many candidates that have had a (mistakenly given) DQ reversed. Other candidates with actual DQ conditions have also received waivers. </p>
<p>Your case is your only experience with DODMERB, but such blanket statements about the process are unfair to everyone who is reading.</p>
<p>Where DODMERB won’t budge is where they believe, based on the evidence they have, that a disqualifying condition did/does exist and the “new” accompanying documentation/remedial information does not rebut/refute the original diagnosis in the original records.</p>
<p>The process, while far from perfect, is necessary to ensure chosen candidates are healthy enough to complete not only 4 years of the academy, but 20 years of active duty, without risking their own health or the long-term care expenses that their condition may bring.</p>
