Concur. No jump status without a spleen - doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but those are the rules.

I don't want to get your hopes up, but you can apply for a waiver for anything. No one here, though, could possibly estimate what the chances were of such a waiver being approved.

I knew a guy who got kicked out of the medic Q course, because the instructors happened to find out he was splenectomized. That guy was easily on track to be the honor grad, also.
