Which document lists the waiver authorities?

Which document lists the waiver authorities?

• A. Air Force Instructions for waiver processing
• B. DAFMAN 48-1 23, attachment 2
• C. Navy medical regulations 10
• D. DoDI 6490.2

Answer: (B)

Waiver authorities are defined in Air Force policy documents, and the authoritative list of who can grant waivers lives in the Department of the Air Force Manual 48-1, 23, attachment 2. That attachment specifically enumerates the waiver authorities by category and the levels of approval required, so members know exactly who may authorize a waiver for a given medical or administrative situation. Other documents don’t provide this Air Force–specific roster: Air Force Instructions cover processes, not the official roster of authorities; Navy medical regulations apply to a different service; and a DoD instruction on medical standards is broader and does not list Air Force-specific waiver authorities.
