Hello all,
I've been working with a Navy OSO to hopefully attend OCS in the near future. We've got everything done for me to be ready for the selection board except receive a medical waiver for a hip surgery I had done over the summer. I've been consistent on asking for updates regarding possibly getting a MEPS appointment or a Walter Reed physical readiness exam. I've been waiting for months for some sort of progress to be made. My recruiter has said "At this point MEPS is pointless so we'll have to keep calling Walter Reed to get you seen there." I'm just curious as to why MEPS is pointless, my medical records are about 75 pages long which I get will take a long time to review but wouldn't it be better than not being in line at all? Are there any other options to try and get a med waiver other than trying to call Walter Reed everyday and schedule something even though they are always booked? I know these questions would probably be best answered by my recruiter but they seem to be always very busy and it's hard to get in depth responses.
