Key medical screening portal down for months amid recruiting crisis
By Davis Winkie
 Dec 30, 2022

 
Entering its fourth month without a critical automated medical screening portal Defense Health Agency officials are working overtime, processing individual medical data by hand so that prospective officers across the military may enroll in a service academy or sign reserve officers’ training corps contracts.

Since at least Sept. 22, the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board web portal for scheduling, tracking and approving medical exams has been down.

A maintenance message on the website says the agency “is working through the backlog of exams...as quickly as possible,” and Defense Health Agency spokesperson Peter Graves confirmed the “IT outage” when reached by Military Times.

The review board is responsible for medically screening applicants for admission to any of the military service academies, ROTC units of all branches and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, among other programs.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

How ironic!  Just when they need to push through as many recruits as they can, the health portal goes to crap!  And for four months already!  R--I--G--H--T. *****rollingeyes*****
