My son is interested in applying for USNA, he is a high stats kid possibly looking also for baseball recruitment. He is just getting ready to start the process with applying for nominations but in the meantime, we are wondering if he will be DQ'd. He has had allergy shots for seasonal allergies within the past year. 1) The DOD MERB 6130.03 disqualifying conditions did not list immunotherapy for allergies as disqualifying, it only said if you have current use of injectables that need refrigeration. However, I found something on USNA Medical Appendix A that says allergy immunotherapy if received within the past 12 months is DQ. Any insight?
2) He was previously prescribed an inhaler for exercise induced asthma, very mild and does not use the inhaler at all for current baseball and only occasionally used it in previous years. What is the best course of action we can take to position him for a waiver? Go to a pulmonologist and have testing done to see if he actually doesn't get diagnosed now with asthma?
Having some concerns about whether these 2 things would be ultimately waived, before we start this process.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
