I guess I need a waiver for childhood asthma, what is the best way to go about obtaining one for ROTC?
Question by Dennis W: I guess I need a waiver for childhood asthma, what is the best way to go about obtaining one for ROTC?
I know it is possible to get one so I don’t want any of this “its impossible” crap. I’m transferring a better college soon and I will be attending ROTC so I just wanted to know if there is anyone else out there who has had to get a waiver and if there are any tips you might offer. I’m about as physically fit as you can be and I’ve been a firefighter for two seasons now. Its a good job, but I know the military is for me. Thanks for any helpful info you might offer!

When you get to ROTC the person who does the paperwork and stuff will hook you up with a doctor’s appointment to get a waiver.
You will not need a waiver untill you are almost ready to contract in your 3rd year. (2nd with the right amount of hours) You will take what is called a “Dahmner Physical” (I’m not sure if Dahmner is spell right, never seen it written. Dom-Ner) and they will get you one then.

The only person who can give a military waiver for anything is a military doctor. You will have to go through the ROTC department for an appointment. I am not sure which branch will accept childhood asthma, but I do know that as of January 1st, the Air Force and Marine Corps did not unless there is no medical record of it.

See your family doctor and then go to your nearest US Military Recruiter and they will give you the information that you need and all of the necessary forms to fill out. Your family doctor can
provide your medical history to the US Military doctors!!

you are gonna need all the documents first, talk to your nearest recruiter he can help you get started. Was this after you were 13 years old? If you had asthma before then it doesn’t matter.

I am a On Campus Army recruiter. I worl directly with ROTC at a California University. Childhood asthma is waiverable, and isnt that hard of a waiver. Schedule an appointment with your ROTC officer at the campus. Email me if you have any questions

ROTC is a great option.

You will need to get your own private doctor to set up a methacoline (probably spelled wrong) challenge test and take the results to the MEPS with you when you take the physical. Provide the results to your recruiter prior to going to the MEPS so that he/she can request a medical review and quite possibly start the required waiver process.
