I had an accommodation during grad school and it is not listed anywhere on my transcript.
But there should be documentation on the medical side where a doctor recommends accommodation which then brings in the school to do the accommodation and then for the waiver they want to see if that resulted in any change of grades.

Ahh, I'm picking up what you're putting down now. Gotcha.
 
Looking for advice on getting boots before OCS after reading errant ensign. I have seen posts on Belleville 800 STs. Looks like those are men and the only female pair I see on Belleville's website is the F495 ST. Anyone know if I should just size down for the 800 STs or what are they looking for to make the boot adhere to any regulations? I've also heard about Rocky... Just trying to give my feet the best of the best and have heard of the horror from Bates.. TIA

Just size down. Or order both and return what u don’t like. 800 is the way to go. I’m normally a 12 but always got 11.5 in those boots
 
Just a heads up to anyone looking to buy Belleville boots prior to OCS. They are on a 120+ day backorder to order from the Belleville website. Not that I like buying clothing on Amazon, but most sizes are available on Amazon with prime.

I got the 495s because they fit me better than the the 800s. Also for my class no one formally looked at and approved the boots of those who brought some. Instead we had to go ask ourselves. So if your boots are steel toed, black, and look like everyone else’s I say use them and don’t question it.
 
This may be a dumb question but should I be telling my recruiter I’m switching recruiters? I found a new recruiter and am meeting with him next week to transfer my paperwork over. Do I need to tell my recruiter I’m doing this in order to move the paperwork over? I assume that the polite thing is to tell him I’m moving it all over but could this have any ramifications like could he tell the new recruiter that i was bothersome and preferred him or anything?

Hopefully someone else from the community can shed light on "proper" procedure in this case. All I can tell from my experience is that your new recruiter will have to request your file from the previous one (I had to transfer because the recruiter I started with suddenly changed his MOS), so you can't hide the fact you're switching over

The question is more related to post-OCS, but I'm hoping someone has an answer:
Is the family relocated for Intel School in Dam Neck, VA? It's a five-month long course and I have a spouse and a toddler. So far I have received conflicting information on this and wanted to clarify

The bigger question: Even if you were entitled a PCS and move your family, would you really want to move them twice over a short period of time?

Have you asked your recruiter to see what current info he or she can find out for you? I don't remember anyone I sent into Intel/IWC being able to move their spouse, now that may have been by choice but I didn't pry as no one complained.

Thank you for sharing your experience. If it was just my spouse I wouldn't sweat it, but a small child is a whole different matter. I will certainly ask him to investigate this further.
