Dd Form 2808 Instructions: Fill & Download for Free

I don’t think it is a disqualifier even if you are still using it. Now, I am not a doctor, so I could be wrong. You should know that everything the navy does is governed by instructions. In this case, the medically unwaiverable conditions are listed in an instruction called COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8K, which you can find quite easily with google (make sure you download the entire thing. Some downloads only include the first few pages/chapters). Section 020705. MEDICAL WAIVERS, on page 193 discusses the things for which you may not get a waiver (i.e., medially disqualifying). Here’s the list:c. Documentation of Approved Waivers. A copy of the approved medical waiver letter and any relevant consultation sheets must be attached to DD Form 2808 and forwarded to RTC/TPU. NAVCRUITCOM (N3M) waivers must be documented in section VI, DD Form 1966.d.

Any applicant admitting steroid use within the previous two months is not enlistment eligible.I would encourage you to talk with a recruiter, have them check the instructions, do not lie about ANYTHING, and go from there.

Normally, I don't answer A2A right away but I'm actually glad I came to check this one out because some of the answers you've been getting are… interesting. Crucially, the other answers seem to have missed the fact that you live in Canada. Since you are Canadian, you may have an appreciation for actual facts that others here don't share and I will attempt to provide some. As a current recruiter for the U.S. Marines, I can only answer for the US military, so you'll want to talk to my Canadian counterparts to be sure but I imagine they will have similar policies in place.To answer your question, will COVID-19 prevent you from enlisting? As with most other medical conditions, it depends. Right now, it may temporarily disqualify you if you currently have or have recently had the disease but unless you experience some of the more serious lingering side effects, you should be able to qualify and eventually enlist.The lingering side effects of COVID-19 are the real unknown here.[1][1][1][1] [2][2][2][2] Since COVID-19 is so new, we don't fully understand how it will effect people further down the line. We already know that it can cause serious, long term damage to the lungs, which is a major concern in regards to military service. If the damage is bad enough, the military may decide it should be disqualifying in the same way asthma is disqualifying. (Which to say, it's waiverable.)For right now, I'll provide the official guidance from USMEPCOM regarding medical qualification for applicants who have had COVID-19. The following is current as of 28 May, 2020. Emphasis is mine.TO: All PersonnelReferences: (a) USMEPCOM-200408-5GGB - INFO MSG -2019 -n-CoV Infection Control Workflow(b) USMEPCOM Regulation 40-1 Medical Qualification Program(c) DODI 6130.03 Medical Standards for Appointment, Enlistment, or Induction into the Military ServicesPurpose: To provide interim guidance on rendering a medical qualification determination for an applicant with a history of confirmed COVID-19.Instructions: All 65 MEPS and one RPS will implement the following:1. An applicant with a history of COVID-19, confirmed by either a laboratory test or clinician diagnosis, will be authorized to process 28 days after the documented date of diagnosis. The applicant will submit all supporting medical documentation pertaining to the COVID-19 diagnosis either as a medical pre-screen or as a med read. The supporting medical documentation must include all clinical notes pertaining to diagnostic testing, treatment rendered and prognosis. Two scenarios exist:a. A confirmed or suspected COVID-19 diagnosis that did not require hospitalization: The applicants will be medically qualified for Service 28 days after clearance from home isolation per current CDC guidance and clinical recovery documented by an independent licensed practitioner with or without negative follow-up for SARS-CoV-2 viral detection (RT-PCR) testing. Service Medical Waiver Review Authority (SMWRA) review is not required.b. A confirmed or suspected COVID-19 diagnosis that required hospitalization: The applicants may be contagious for a longer period than others; therefore, placing these individuals in a setting where they will have close contact with other individuals, such as initial entry training, warrants a more conservative approach. Further, individuals hospitalized as a result of COVID-19 symptoms are likely to require evaluation for residual physical performance limitations (e.g. pulmonary and end-organ function) before medical qualification. Residual and long-term health effects for individuals with severe outcomes, such as hospitalization or admission to an intensive care unit, from COVID-19, are unknown. Consequently, SMWRA review is required and the SMWRA may request additional testing.2. During the prescreen process:a. A reported history of confirmed COVID-19 that required hospitalization will be annotated as “Considered Disqualifying” (CD) and documented in Section VII of the DD Form 2807-2. The DoDI 6130.03 section 5.30.a. will be cited with the AP approved ICD-10 code Z22.9. “Processing Not Justified” (PNJ) will not be used as a prescreen determination for an applicant with a history of confirmed COVID-19 that required hospitalization. Instead, “MEDICAL PROCESSING STATUS” will be determined as “Processing Authorized” (PA) as long as criteria in paragraph 1 is met.b. A reported history of confirmed COVID-19 that did not require hospitalization will be annotated as “Not Considered Disqualifying” (NCD) and “MEDICAL PROCESSING STATUS” will be determined as “Processing Authorized” (PA) as long as the applicant meets criteria of the paragraph 1.a. above. If the applicant does not meet the 28-days criteria, the prescreen provider will determine medical processing status as “Return Justified” (RJ) and will calculate appropriate RJ date to account for 28 days after clearance from home isolation. AP approved ICD-10 code Z22.9 will be used to annotate “ICD” box. COVID-19 will be used to annotate the “CONDITION” box. “P3T” will be used to annotate the “PULHES” box.3. During the medical history interview or examination:a. A history of confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis that required hospitalization will be permanently disqualifying (PDQ) for Service. The “P” PULHES letter designator will be annotated as “3P” in item 76 on the DD Form 2808. The DoDI 6130.03 section 5.30.a. will be cited in item 79 with the AP approved ICD-10 code Z22.9 in items 77 and 79. Item 52 “Other” from the DD Form 2808 will be used as the associated item number for annotation. Consistent with paragraph 1.b. above, SMWRAs may review the PDQs for waiver consideration consistent with Service policies.b. A history of confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis that did not require hospitalization will be temporarily disqualifying (TDQ) for Service until the applicant meets the criteria in paragraph 1.a. above. The “P” PULHES letter designator will be annotated as “3T” in item 76 on the DD Form 2808. Item 77 will be annotated as follows: Item 52 “Other” from the DD Form 2808 will be used as the associated item number for annotation. COVID-19 will be used for “MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS”. AP approve ICD-10 code Z22.9 will be annotated for the “ICD CODE”. P3T will be annotated for the “PROFILE SERIAL”. RJ date will be calculated to account for 28 days after clearance from home isolation. “DISQUALIFIED” block will be checked and provider will initial the “EXAMINER INITIAL”. The provider will annotate item 79 appropriately citing section 5.30.a of the DoDI 6130.03 as the reason for a TDQ. If criteria in paragraph 1.a. is met by the time of examination, then the condition will be annotated as NCD and the applicant is medically qualified for service.4. All other applicant screening or processing not detailed in this information message will be conducted IAW the current versions of references (a) and (b).Footnotes[1] Why your health may never be the same after Covid[1] Why your health may never be the same after Covid[1] Why your health may never be the same after Covid[1] Why your health may never be the same after Covid[2] Life After COVID-19: The Road To Recovery[2] Life After COVID-19: The Road To Recovery[2] Life After COVID-19: The Road To Recovery[2] Life After COVID-19: The Road To Recovery
