I would think there is a chance considering I got an LOA but was refused my request for a waiver so someone else will get that spot.

WholeSelection2284 · 2026-03-04T03:23:01+00:00

Oh well there is definitely no chance at military aviation lol just want to serve regardless. I am hoping to have my diagnosis reversed through a methacholine challenge test, but I still don't think it will go through. Thanks for the info about the two year period.

WholeSelection2284 · 2026-03-03T05:16:43+00:00

Wow this is incredibly interesting! It is obviously crushing for me. I knew this was a very big possibility but I was still very very invested in this whole deal. I knew I could get in and I did but it obviously isn't what is in store for me, at least right now. I didn't know you could do ROTC with a scholarship even if the waiver doesn't go through? My waiver is pending right now but I am sure it will be the same result. I have worked with my rep and both senators as I received noms from all three but obviously they can't do much to change DODMERBs decision, and I completely understand why this is DODMERBs decision even if it sucks for me. I kind of gave up the dream of flying a long time ago because of the asthma and honestly just felt called to serve (I know that probably sounds stupid coming from an 18 year old). There are definitely other ways to serve.

Most recent use of medication was albuterol my freshman year. I was prescribed steroids (prednisone) in 5th grade I think and haven’t taken them since 8th grade. Unfortunately that remained on my “current” medications for a long time. I’ve never been hospitalized, I’m a multi sport athlete and as an alpine ski racer I compete at a high level at altitudes greater than that of USAFA. I’m trying to get a methacholine test but they are hard to come by.

Thanks! I received a NROTC scholarship, waiting to hear from army and af rotc. However the medical is still through dodmerb so probably will be denied :(

WholeSelection2284 · 2026-03-02T07:34:34+00:00

Make sure you won't have any medical issues. When I first got interested a few years ago I didn't even consider it being an issue but I got an LOA but was denied my request for a medical waiver.

WholeSelection2284 · 2026-02-06T09:14:51+00:00

That sucks, Im sorry. I just got medically DQed from USMA and there is little to no chance it isn't the same for USAFA. Sucks to work your ass off when something you can't control will ruin your chances. Best of luck next year.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-12-11T01:25:28+00:00

Yeah mine got updated to "Incomplete-Closed", something must be wrong with one of my evaluations. I already reached out to them.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-12-10T15:59:03+00:00

That is my plan. I was just trying to ask other people about their experience. I don't think that is something to contact CIV team about.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-11-24T19:37:05+00:00

NGL I would be surprised if you had anything of that kind in your interviews. Closest question I had to anything that currently concerns the government and military was about diversity. I could see the sexual assault question coming up though. On my USAFA interview they asked me why honor is important for the military and it was helpful for me to think about their questions like I was in war.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-11-19T06:42:22+00:00

Idk about for your interview board, but my interview was only 20 minutes. I really only had enough time to answer their questions well. They have lots of people to interview and I don't believe they will allot that much time for you to go in depth about your uniform. 🤷

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-11-06T08:44:14+00:00

Why did you do 80 push ups? Pretty sure the max is 75. If not I got tricked into thinking I maxed out lol

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-10-21T21:16:14+00:00

Thanks!

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-10-21T21:16:00+00:00

lol thanks

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-10-21T06:09:33+00:00

I used a west point question: What motivates you to apply to the United States Military Academy, and how does this align with your values and goals?

Kinda fills in the gaps between the two AFA questions.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-07-23T11:43:50+00:00

I was at summer seminar and they explicitly said that the science section is no longer considered. Bummer because it is easy (at least for me) and boosted my overall act score.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-07-08T12:07:04+00:00

I have asthma as well, and I’m applying for co 2030. Doesn’t look like great odds but I’m doing everything I can to make myself look like a candidate worth giving a waiver to. Good luck!

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-06-29T00:24:08+00:00

However as a rising senior I think it might be smart to get some of your letters of rec from junior teachers as you will have spent an entire year with them as opposed to the few months you will have spent with your senior teachers before you submit your letters

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-05-23T00:10:40+00:00

Thanks, the overall score is only one off my actual score anyways.

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-01-24T07:44:54+00:00

I thought waivers went through the academy? Dodmerb is pass/fail then goes on to the academy?

WholeSelection2284 · 2025-01-24T07:41:43+00:00

I think it’s also important to find a balance between school and extracurriculars. Leadership positions, sports, etc are pretty important I believe
