And the hits keep on coming. MEPS turned down my application for a physical. They want an ETP to continue to process me. Still not a total dead end, just need to get that waiver in a week or so. Still all out of my hands and still waiting. All of my other paperwork is in and good to go. I'll keep you all updated.

Looks like I won't be making the November board but my recruiter told me they are having another in December. I just hope my waiver comes in with enough time to do the physical etc. I've been looking online and I've heard it can take months to process these waivers...is that usually the case?

When it comes to waiver the length of time varies depending on how far up the chain it has to go. Has your recruiter spoken to you about going to BAMC at Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX for a PE tour. I have done a MEPS and a PE tour and the PE tour was more streamlined when it came to waivers.

Don't really know if I have time but I will bring it up next time I talk to him. Just have a few weeks until the December boards. My waiver went to the Office of the Surgeon General.

Recruiter brought up San Antonio but said he couldn't get anyone on the phone for dates. He was told that we should hear back from the OSG within days. Just playing the waiting game and keeping my fingers crossed.
