I was diagnosed with amenorrhea and needed a waiver. My waiver got denied. Am I permanently disqualified from the National Guard?

Hard to say what the future holds and I think CAPT Ball has some good thoughts on the matter, so let me just add this: There are many reasons why people can't enlist and many are due to choices people made as opposed to conditions beyond their control. This aint your fault. If this disqualification proves to be insurmountable, just remember that it was no character flaw that denied you. You were willing to step up when so many will not. That counts for something.

Good luck.

I'm not medical but have seen this over my career. It depends on where you're at in the resolution of the issue. The concern is amenorrhea frequently is a symptom of an underlying problem. So if you just present the condition and there is no resolution, the DQ is the standard response (easy toss in favor of others who have a clean med sheet). Many times it is treatable and, if resolved, becomes part of the medical evaluation. The DQ factor uses the term "unexplained" which means you have it but know nothing more. Treatment and positive result "explains" it, hence removing it from that particular DQ line item. I'd suggest a full medical press on resolution and then resubmit. Although you may clear the first hurdle, an underlying condition might be another DQ line item.
