PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

Military service is a physically demanding profession and requires a high degree of physical preparedness and a healthy constitution. Physical and scholarship qualification processes are independent of each other, but students must receive favorable endorsement in both to receive NROTC scholarship.
Partial list of disqualifying medical diagnoses:

Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB) schedules and reviews all physical examinations for service academies and NROTC candidates; candidates applying for more than one military academy or NROTC scholarship program require only one physical examination
If DODMERB determines a disqualifying condition exists, some medical conditions may be waived after further review
Applicants will be notified by DODMERB of any additional requirements for medical history consultations or diagnostic tests
Surgical, laser, or mechanical procedures to correct defective visual acuity may be cause for disqualification; no waivers will be recommended
Keratoconus or a history of treatment for this condition is absolutely disqualifying
