For ROTC & Service Academy Families

A medical flag doesn't have to end your student's shot at serving.

You just want to know one thing: is your student okay, and what do you do next? This self-paced plan gives you the answer in plain language, so you can trade the 2 a.m. searching for a calm, step-by-step roadmap you can act on tonight.

Worried a condition could disqualify them

Understand the standard before the exam, report your history the right way, and walk in prepared instead of hoping for the best.

This is for you if…

Whether you're a parent trying to protect your kid's future or an applicant sorting this out yourself, you belong here if any of these sound familiar.

Your student has a condition, asthma, a food allergy, or something else, and you’re afraid it will flag them.
A remedial request showed up and you’re not sure what it means or how to answer it.
You’ve already received a disqualification and need to know your real options.
You want to understand the process before you spend $800 on a one-on-one call.

What you'll walk away knowing

Not a pile of videos to get lost in. A plan that ends every step with a clear answer to “so what do we do this week?”

  • Whether your student’s history actually crosses the medical standard or just looks scary online, read against the exact words of the current regulation.
  • Which specialist to see and the one objective test to ask them for, so a single visit produces evidence a reviewer can use instead of a warm letter they can’t.
  • Exactly which records to start gathering now, with fill-in-the-blank request letters you copy, adapt, and send.
  • What a strong waiver package looks like for your student’s specific condition, and the evidence that actually moves a case.
  • When your family can handle this yourselves, and when a one-on-one consult is worth it.

Families who were exactly where you are

Real messages from families we've guided through the same process, from first panic to a waiver in hand.
