Personal Inquiry Waiver & Background Check Form October 2010.Docx: Fill & Download for Free

First, I hope that a person with self-harm scars has obtained the help they needed.Second, the ASVAB scores and a medical waiver are not related. A person’s ASVAB scores must reach a certain level to be qualified at all for US military service. The higher, the more likely they are to be considered, and to get bonuses and the jobs they might wish to get.A person’s medical conditions — all of them — must be revealed during the recruitment phase. And ANY of them might require a “waiver.” Some medical waivers are done locally, simple things like marginally bad eyesight, warts, a broken bone as a child that obviously healed correctly, etc.Other things require a full medical work-up, possibly with multiple military and/or civilian contracted doctors (or other specialists), who must render opinions on whether the potential recruit’s medical condition(s) are likely to impair their ability to serve globally, in any weather, under combat and other stressful conditions, etc. Both mental and physical conditions may need to be waived.A waiver is an exception to policy, in that the medical condition that is being waived is actually disqualifying for military service. Otherwise, no waiver would be needed…Some medical conditions are not waiverable…by anyone. AT any level. Down’s Syndrome. Spina bifida. Many cancers (even after surviving them). To name a few.Others, go through the work up by the medical experts, who help the Service decide if a waiver will be granted.If a waiver is not granted by one Service, that decision is not binding on others (except the Navy and Marine Corps use the same doctors, so generally the decision of one is unlikely to be challenged by the other because the same doctors will be consulted once again and are unlikely to change their opinions unless the person’s situation changed or they provided new medical evidence). So a waiver by the Army might not have been granted by the Air Force, or vice versa.There is a DoD Manual (see below) that governs the majority of medical waivers, and describes the majority of conditions that might require a waiver, and when. Some conditions only require waivers after certain lengths of time, or specific conditions, and otherwise allow for it. But unless otherwise stated, any condition listed, mental or physical, is disqualifying and must be waived for enlistment/appointment to continue.This Manual is virtually identical to the standards for the US Coast Guard (as an agency of the Department of Homeland Security), Senior ROTC programs in colleges, the Federal Service Academies (cadets and midshipmen), and for commissions in the US Public Health Service (USPHS) and NOAA.See: DOD INSTRUCTION 6130.03, MEDICAL STANDARDS FOR APPOINTMENT, ENLISTMENT, OR INDUCTION INTO THE MILITARY SERVICES, https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/613003p.pdf?ver=2018-05-04-113917-883If a person presented to a recruiter with “only” the condition asked here, “self-harm scars,” let’s review the Manual to see what it says about it, starting in Section 5:“5.21. SKIN AND SOFT TISSUE CONDITIONS.…v. Current scars that can reasonably be expected to interfere with properly wearing military clothing or equipment, or to interfere with satisfactorily performing military duty due to pain or decreased range of motion, strength, or agility.”and, the most pertinent sub-sections of paragraph 5.28 (see below for the full paragraph text) that pertain to this inquiry:5.28. LEARNING, PSYCHIATRIC, AND BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS.…m. Suicidality, including suicidal ideation with a plan, suicidal gesture(s), or attempt(s).n. History of self-mutilation.See paragraph 5.28 (below) of the reference for the complete list of “learning, psychiatric, and behavioral disorders” that are disqualifying…without a waiver.Remember, if it’s listed, it requires a waiver unless the text specifically says so.But, there are many medical conditions that are not listed, and might or might not require waivers, and thus they ALL must be disclosed…or a fraudulent enlistment situation arises, which might have very bad consequences later, up to and including court-martial or discharge with less than honorable conditions:5.28. LEARNING, PSYCHIATRIC, AND BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS.a. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, if with:(1) A recommended or prescribed Individualized Education Program, 504 Plan, or work accommodations after the 14th birthday;(2) A history of comorbid mental disorders;(3) Prescribed medication in the previous 24 months; or(4) Documentation of adverse academic, occupational, or work performance.b. History of learning disorders after the 14th birthday, including but not limited to dyslexia, if any of the following apply:(1) With a recommended or prescribed Individualized Education Program, 504 Plan, or work accommodations after the 14th birthday;(2) With a history of comorbid mental disorders; or(3) With documentation of adverse academic, occupational, or work performance.c. Autism spectrum disorders.d. History of disorders with psychotic features such as schizophrenic disorders, delusional disorders, or other unspecified psychoses or mood disorders with psychotic features.e. History of bipolar and related disorders (formerly identified as mood disorders not otherwise specified) including but not limited to cyclothymic disorders and affective psychoses.f. Depressive disorder if:(1) Outpatient care including counseling required for longer than 12 cumulative months;(2) Symptoms or treatment within the last 36 months;(3) The applicant required any inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility;(4) Any recurrence; or(5) Any suicidality (in accordance with Paragraph 5.28.m.).g. History of a single adjustment disorder if treated or symptomatic within the previous 6 months, or any history of chronic (lasting longer than 6 months) or recurrent episodes of adjustment disorders.h. History of disruptive, impulse control and conduct disorder to include but not limited to oppositional defiant and other behavior disorders.i. Any personality disorder including unspecified personality disorder or maladaptive personality traits demonstrated by:(1) Repeated inability to maintain reasonable adjustment in school, with employers or fellow workers, other social groups, or psychological testing revealing that the degree of immaturity, instability, of personality inadequacy, impulsiveness, or dependency may reasonably be expected to interfere with their adjustment to the Military Services;(2) Recurrent encounters with law enforcement agencies (excluding minor traffic violations) or antisocial behaviors are tangible evidence of impaired capacity to adapt to military service; or(3) Any behavioral health issues that have led to incarceration for any period. j. Encopresis after 13th birthday.k. History of any feeding or eating disorder.l. Any current communication disorder that significantly interferes with producing speech or repeating commands.m. Suicidality, including suicidal ideation with a plan, suicidal gesture(s), or attempt(s).n. History of self-mutilation.o. History of obsessive-compulsive disorder.p. History of post-traumatic stress disorder.q. History of anxiety disorders if:(1) Outpatient care including counseling was required for longer than 12 cumulative months.(2) Symptomatic or treatment within the last 36 months.(3) The applicant required any inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility.(4) Any recurrence.(5) Any suicidality (in accordance with Paragraph 5.28.m.).r. History of dissociative disorders.s. History of somatic symptoms and related disorders.t. History of paraphilic disorders.u. Any history of substance-related and addictive disorders (except using caffeine or tobacco).v. History of other mental disorders that may reasonably be expected to interfere with or prevent satisfactory performance of military duty.w. Prior psychiatric hospitalization for any cause.BOTTOM LINE: a person with self-harm scars will need at least two waivers, and probably more:The scars themselves, which might or might not be found disqualifying in and of themselves, andThe underlying psychological issues that give rise to the harmful behavior, that result in:Suicidality, andHistory of Self-MutilationSince it is unlikely that a close examination under the bright lights at the MEPS processing center for the medical exam will not discover the scars resultant from self-mutilation, they will need to be disclosed up front, which will thus require discussion about why there is self-mutilation…and waivers for both. Plus whatever else is required to be waived for medical conditions.Good luck.

Hindus in India ,who in 2014 enthusiastically believed in creating a BHARAT, in 2019 are,( as sceptical and paid Newspaper headings are busy in proclaiming ),are herding themselves to create a HINDUSTHAN, all because of this Nehru Gandhi Scion. One, who sees Bharat as Hindustan.For the first time in the Country's electoral history, BJP, a Hindu party received the maximum votes earmarked for a political party in the 2014 general elections.And then what happened within the coming years ?UP Yatra took Rahul Gandhi to 14 temples, 3 mosques, 3 gurdwarasSubodh Ghildiyal | TNN | Updated: Oct 6, 2016,NEW DELHI: WhenCongress leaderRahul Gandhi meets farmers outside the capital's Bhairon Mandir on Thursday, he would not just be ending a political yatra , it would be the culmination of a veritable pilgrimage.In his 25 days on the roads of Uttar Pradesh, he has visited around 14 temples, three mosques, six dargahs, three gurdwaras and one cathedral. For a political odyssey aimed at shoring up the decimated fortunes of Congress in UP, the 2,500 km rough and tumble has been rich in religious symbolism and the underlying effort to convey a political message.Congressmen do not recall such a long list of religious places visited by a single party leader at one go even though they underline that none may have undertaken such a long road journey too.There is no denying that despite the focus on ' khat sabhas ' and 'loan waiver', the Congress heir apparent has attracted attention for the number of shrines he visited. The temples made it clear that Congress's secularism is not "anti Hindu" and the other halts, including Deoband, were well chosen too. Political bazaar has been abuzz with the talk of a 'Congress reset' since Narendra Modi-led BJP's triumph in national elections.While the first indication of a shift came in the form of veteran AK Antony's post-2014 advice that Congress should remove the perception that it was tilted towards minorities, Rahul hinted at a makeover with an arduous trek to the Kedarnath shrine in April 2015, followed by trips to Banke Bihar temple in Vrindavan and Kheer Bhawani temple in J&K.If this time, it looked too conscious an attempt on the part of Rahul, a Congress strategist said, "The Gandhi family has never said he is an atheist. There is no problem in visiting religious places. What we proudly say is that we are secular. The objection is when some politician goes to one place and promotes one faith."He underlined Rahul visited temples and mosques alike.As if setting the tone, Rahul started his ' kisan yatra ' on September 6 from Doodhnath temple in Deoria. Over four weeks, Rahul dropped in at shrines big and small -Dwarkadheesh in Mathura, Hanumangarhi in Ayodhya, Vindhyawasini in Mirzapur as well as Kamtanath temple in Chitrakoot, Mata Sankta temple in Orai and Dhopeshwarnath temple in BareillyAlso, there were Jama Masjids in Allahabad and Moradabad, dargahs like Kichhocha Sharif in Ambedkar Nagar and even Muslim learning centres Nadwatul Ulama in Lucknow and Deoband. In Lucknow, Kanpur and Bareilly, he went to Sikh shrines and also visited a Cathedral. For those involved in the yatra, the idea was to align Congress with local sentiments.Suddenly we started to witness strange equations coming into reality we had believed earlier would never had happened. (not only the Mahagathbandhan in UP. Bhua and Bhatija dono saath saath). But many other things too started surfacing.Every Mullah and Maulavi, at this moment of Indian History has transformed himself into an avowed Secular. There is a Masjid opposite my residence. Every day, five times in the day, the Muazzin (care taker) of the Masjid, raises his voice fervently in the loud speakers (with much more decibels than prescribed by the Hon’ble Judges) of the Masjid, blaring in all the four directions in my localiity, where there are almost no any Muslims residing, but because this is a Masjid, and because the Muazzin is a devout faithful, thus he calls furiously for his only God, the all powerful and the most beneficent, “Allah”.We Hindus in our locality are left with no any option, again to our benefits, we need no any alarms, we all are woken up at sharp five o’clock (it's chilly winter in Howrah. In the Summer it is nearly four in the morning) and find ourselves listening to the blaring call, announcing their own Allah as the Supreme (not only for the faithfuls but to every ear, the blaring call reaches).Rahul Gandhi and his band of collaborators are precisely working on this psychology. They realise well the incompetence of Hindu Gods in their own Lands. With almost every Muslim (read :Secular) vote in their pockets and evidently hoping for a split in the Hindu votes, this band believes, they can runaway with the spoils.It's the Muslim and SC /ST consolidation that is fiercely working against the present BJP leadership. Added to is the rage of some upper caste Hindus, who since centuries have developed an infallible habit of watching from the arena, but never gathering the guts to participate in the all important wrestling mania . A good percentage of NOTA votes, in the just concluded elections indicated this.Now to answer this question, let us check Rahul Gandhi’s political and charismatic personality one by one.Political upmanshipModi as most of Today's Newspapers write, is on a backfoot. The cow belt States are showing a remarked reluctancy in buying his version of Economic Development. But the other States in the Country which have a better literacy rate than their North Indian counterparts are in the forefront, exhibiting their preference for the BJP. Why did Mizoram, a Christian dominated State and where the Church decided on candidates, voted against the party headed by Raul Vinci (in. Rahul Gandhi).This is the paradoxical character of the Indian politics. Except the Muslims, who because of their religious teachings believe BJP is the barrier that will stop from their regaining that prime position they earlier were accustomed to : people in the country are open to both the sides. In judging both the good and bad sides of the Modi government.Why I say that the Muslims are blind in their hate towards Modi.Well, tell me from your own experience. If you have Muslim friends and colleagues, what is their reaction on the recent electoral verdicts. Is it just another case of win or defeat. Or more than that. I'm sure your findings will surprise you.I have talked to many Muslims. On issues ranging from the demolition of Babari Masjid to this election verdict.Believe me, they all have the same answer as if they all have been tutored in the same class. It makes no difference whether the Muslim gentleman speaks Bengali or Urdu or Marwari. The message behind the spoken words is almost the same.Rahul Gandhi at present is the biggest political sword the Muslim clergy has got in India, to rip through the BJP's Hindutva brand of politics.Such is the common Hindu naivety and his practice of not remembering History and checking it's facts, that the voters in the three States BJP lost, have accepted Rahul Gandhi’s version of Hinduism. At least their transformed faith in Congress reveals that.Hindus in India, since the centuries no longer yearn for a Ruler of their own righteous Faith. Perhaps, Centuries of subjugation has mutated in their own genes, the seeds of submission and the practice of bowing before anyone, who they believe is going to Lord over them. And Inspite of calling India as the biggest Democracy, we firmly believe Raja ka ladkaa hi Raja hoga ( Only the Kings Son is destined to become the King).And I call this as a paradox, because a section of naive and opportunist Hindus, see and proudly refer the Nehru Gandhi Family as the Kings Dynasty.Now, Rahul Gandhi is being presented as the new Avataar of the Congress. Fresh from his victory in the three States, he is being depicted as the new Messiah of the Congress. A leader, the Masses are made to believe will ultimately solve all their problems.Now post Elections what he saysHe will not allow Modi to sleep unless all farmers loans are waived.And what Modi said in return, only yesterday in Gazipur.PM Modi Calls Congress A "Lollipop Company", Attacks Loan Waiver PromisesAll India Press Trust of IndiaPM Modi's remarks on farm loans - made at other recent meetings as well - follow the waivers announced by the Congress governments in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh after the recent assembly polls.Updated : December 29, 2018 21:34 ISTStory HighlightsCongress promised much more than it delivered on loan waivers: PM ModiGhazipur, Uttar Pradesh:Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the Congress of misleading farmers on loan waiver promises, calling them lollipops.On a day's visit to the Purvanchal region, his second trip to Uttar Pradesh this month, PM Modi claimed the JD(S)-Congress coalition government which came to power in Karnataka recently had waived only 800 farm loans."Be wary of the Congress and its lies," he said at a public meeting.And what TOI saysLoan waivers are lollipops, Congress cheated farmers: PM ModiRohan Dua | TNN | Dec 30, 2018, 09:18 ISTHIGHLIGHTSModi said the promise of a loan waiver in Karnataka has proved a mirageTaking aim at farm-centric populism, the PM said the immediate aftermath of Congress victories in MP and Rajasthan was that lines for urea had reappearedGHAZIPUR: In a clear indication that the Modi government is unlikely to consider a nation-wide farm loan waiver in response to recent political reverses, PM Narendra Modi on Saturday said such measures are nothing more than “lollipops” and dubbed Congress a “lollipop company”.“Before the 2009 elections, those who hand out lollipops offered a loan waiver. Did any of you benefit from the 2009 loan waiver? Were you not forgotten (after the election)? Will you believe such people? Will you trust a ‘lollipop company’?” Modi asked a large public meeting here.The PM’s remarks made it evident that he is not rising to the bait after Congress chief Rahul Gandhi recently said that the opposition will not allow Modi to sleep until a farm loan waiver is announced. The promise of a waiver is seen to have helped Congress score upset wins in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh and also in Rajasthan while farm distress was perceived to have hurt BJP.Responding to the loan waiver debate, Modi said the promise of a loan waiver in Karnataka has proved a mirage. “Lakhs were promised loan waivers, votes were robbed. But only, only, only 800 people have received the waiver. For transient political gains, promises are made. These decisions will not resolve the problem,” he said.Taking aim at farm-centric populism, the PM said the immediate aftermath of Congress victories in MP and Rajasthan was that lines for urea had reappeared. “Vote batorne ke liye lubhavane upayo ka hashr kya hota hai ye Rajasthan and MP mein dikh raha hai (You can see the result of fanciful schemes to gather votes in these states),” said Modi.Telling his largely rural audience that it needed to understand the “reality” of loan waivers, he said the all-India debt of farmers was around Rs 6 lakh crore when the 2009 loan waiver was announced. “But the government gave only Rs 60,000 crore. There were 35 lakh beneficiaries who were neither farmers nor had any debt. Who benefited from such karz maafi? I would urge you to beware of Congress’s lies and dishonesty,” the PM said.It's been more than twenty four hours and none of the Congress leaders have responded to Modi’s denouncing their tall promises.CAG finds scam in Rs 52,000-crore farm loan waiver schemeBy ET Bureau | Updated:Mar 06, 2013, 02.30 AM ISTCAG found instances of tampering of records and pulled up the Department of Financial Services in the Finance Ministry for deficient monitoring of the multi-crore scheme.NEW DELHI: The farm loan waiver scheme, launched by the UPA government, ahead of the 2009 general election, has joined the growing list of financial scandals during its tenure. A Comptroller and Auditor General report, tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, said that 8.5% of farmers, out of 80,299 accounts audited, were not eligible for debt waiver or debt relief that they received under the scheme.“Overall, the performance audit revealed that in 22.32% of the 90,576 cases checked, there were lapses or errors, which raised serious concern about the implementation of the scheme,” said a CAG report tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.The scheme – announced at a time when the global economy was delicately perched and left a hole in the government’s finances – was to benefit 3.69 crore small and marginal farmers across the country, whose loans were written off. Debt relief to another 60 lakh farmers too was carried out. CAG, which pulled up the Department of Financial Services in the finance ministry, found instances of tampering of records. It recommended that DFS review such cases and take ‘stringent action’ against erring officials and banks. Of the 9,334 accounts examined across 9 states, 1,257 accounts (13.46%) were not eligible for benefits and of the 80,299 accounts granted debt waiver or debt relief about 8.5% were not eligible — about 20.5 crore were given to ineligible persons. In several cases, “farmers who had taken loan for non-agricultural purposes or whose loans did not meet eligibility conditions, were given benefits under the scheme.”The report also said the micro finance institutions were given benefit under the scheme in violation of the debt waiver guidelines. Banks also claimed undue benefits like penal interest, legal charges, miscellaneous charges from government while under the scheme, banks were to bear these charges. BJP used the findings to lash out at the government and demanded a CBI inquiry into it and a loan waiver benefit for all eligible farmers taking into account the outstanding as of March 31, 2013. “This is a huge scam of Rs 10,000 crore which stand looted in the Rs 50,000 crore scheme. This is a big fraud committed on the nation,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar told reporters.Finance minister P Chidambaram has already said that action would be taken against banks found involved in irregularities besides the ineligible recipients of the scheme after completion of inquiries. RBI and Nabard have also directed banks to identify errors in the execution of the farm debt waiver scheme and take action against erring banks and ineligible beneficiaries. “It is unfortunate that some deserving farmers did not get benefit,” Chidambaram had said. Economists were unanimous that the scheme only helped to distort the system.Ashok Gulati, chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, said such schemes dampened the repayment culture and it would have been better if the government had invested in rural agriculture. “It is unfortunate to know from CAG that benefits of the scheme have not percolated down to the needy. This should encourage government to ensure greater transparency. It would have been great to have put the money in rural infrastructure like irrigation and roads. Such schemes also adversely affect the repayment culture,” he said.Now this all happened in the UPA2 regime. The distribution of the loans as well as the presentation of the CAG report in the Parliament.Clearly, this all is a case of political manipulations. No any real sympathy for the Indian farmer.Rahul Gandhi is asking Modi to do things which he himself never could do and also knows well that these could never be done.Months back I was talking to a friend, a councillor in my City. While we were discussing Modi, he was sure on one count. BJP was destined for a loss. I countered, if he was expressing his Party views (he belonged to a regional party bitterly opposed to Modi ). He said ‘ No Dada. To understand Modi you need education. Sixty eight per cent of the population is illiterate or semi illiterates. They will never understand Modi’s works. And those who understand, are too lazy to vote for him’. I dismissed his observations.Today only Qourans can vouch ,how true they are?
