How can I best appeal an AMEDD admin rejection after being selected?

CPT Jason Rodriguez — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 14:08:32 -0500

I was boarded on the Nov 15' AMEDD Commissioning Board. I was told that I was selected (Captain) and awaiting commissioning. I found out yesterday when the scroll released that I was admin rejected. Reason being, I received severance pay in 1994 from the Marines. HQ knew of this sev pay, processed, boarded, selected, scrolled. HQ now says rejected because sev pay. Appeal submitted. Thoughts?

I am sorry this happened to you, but don't lose hope just yet as the medical department is incredibly forgiving as a whole to its doctors. Good luck in fighting this and I'm sorry for the setback.

Hell of a Cheesy Reason top Black Ball someone! You accepted an early out severance package so now you can't be an officer. Personally I think that is BS! I wish you luck bucking the system. There has to be some kind of Waiver.

How do you know it was rejected because of severance pay? No results are given because of admin ineligible or non-selects

I posted this question in January of 2016. Just to follow up,,, I was informed later in the year that I should have been given a waiver. I was boarded again and put on the OML. However, two weeks ago I was sworn in as a Captain in the United States Army Reserve. It was a long road consisting of many years and two degrees. But I never gave up. I wanted to thank all that commented on my original post. I was devastated with the original results, but having you all to chat with made it easier. I thank you all for your service and for being there when someone needs you.

Sincerely,
CPT Jason H. Rodriguez
