On the same website, there is a section of RE codes. It breaks them down by each branch and shows the ones that are waiverable and ones that are definengtly not. Just remember, MEPS will do a med read and decide if they will do your physical. Your...

@BermudaTriangle, Glad to see you made it!!! Have a great Thanksgiving!!

As long as you did not rcv monies when you were discharged in relation to your RE code it can be waived. It can still be waived if you did, however, it is a lot harder. Also, medical waivers are not given by private physicians or MEPS physicians. W...

Duffy, There are so many variables to your situation. I would suggest you go to navycs.com. On the first page, paragraph 7, you will see medical waiver process. Click on it. On the page that comes up, go all the way down to the bottom. You will b...

Yes, same board. Good luck!

I don't know the current quota. I can try and find out on Monday for you. I hope it all goes well for you this year. I know what it is like to have to wait another year. Good luck!!!!!

Congrats!!! I'm a 66p also. Do you know your unit?

Congrats! Yes, I knew my unit last year. Still going to several weeks for orders. As far as your contract, just make sure your bonus is there. If you have both a bonus and loan repayment, make sure you pick the one you want first.

Deenp19, I commissioned in September. The ceremony was short and occurred in the recruiting office. They gave me the option of doing it wherever I wanted, so I could have made it as big as I wanted. However, I did not know I was commissioning that...

The waiting is the hardest part. I just read over the past few posts and it seems like a confusing mess. As for the upcoming board, this is something your recruiter can see in the computer and let you know if it has a 'board ready' status. I would gi...

That's great, Deenp19!!!! I was told a couple of weeks ago. However, my physical ran out and now I have to go back to MEPS before I can commission. Hoping to find out physical date this week.

That would be correct!

The FY18 board meets October 31st. Packets are due mid to late September. You need to call your recruiter and find out if you are to be boarded and then waiver reviewed. Spots fill up fast and you do not want to miss this board........

Mbabs84, Sorry for the delay,, I don't know who has waiver authority. Mine was sent in but not reviewed/approved until after the board met.

Coming off the OML!

Do you have any information for those of us placed on the OML from the November 2016 AMEDD board?

I had a med waiver also. My waiver was not reviewed/approved until after I was selected/OML'd. However, they did review the reason I need one and that had to be approved before they would let me go to MEPS. That took around a year (or a little mor...

I wish I had more information for you. I read posts from present and past ANC officers saying that the demand is not as high as it was a few years ago. They are the duty experts on this and I have no reason to question their assessments. I do know...

Mbabs84, Do not think it is coincidental. There was a meeting last month and talk that the numbers of need were reported lower than they actually were. As for your waiver,, I know they can take up to a year. I needed a waiver this go around and it...

Spoke with my recruiter today. He got a call two days ago asking if I would still be interested in commissioning if they pulled me off the OML. They gave him no other information. Sounded promising.

Heard last week that they are going to be pulling some of the 66h from the reserves to fill active duty slots. This should open up slots for those on the reserve OML. Still no word on the 66p OML.

Thanks for starting this. Hopefully it will help keep up with where people are in the process. I've been on the OML since November 2016 for 66P. I remember we chatted before. We have different recruiters, but out of the same office. However, if ...

That's some pretty awesome news! This thread is getting pretty long,,, maybe we should start an OML thread. I nominate ktrnbsn:)

Order of Merit List (OML),,,, There are a bunch of us that had boards in November and December that were put on this list. They call if a spot opens up. We just hang out in limbo waiting on a call, or the November fy18 board to try again. Good tim...
