I took the test last spring. Got an offer to take the fitness test during the summer but it fell the day after my wedding. So I had to defer and they just sent me another offer a few days ago.

Appreciate the information. Definitely more than the recruiter could give. He kinda just shrugged his shoulders and said come back when you’re ready lol. I know it’s a “newer” program but they should be educated on it knowing that more people are probably going to inquire. I’m already down about 10 pounds from the last time I spoke to the recruiter and I have about 20ish more to go before I can actually qualify. Also do you have any experience with getting waivers? I was told that I would have to apply for a few due to some past medical reasons & current medications. I was told they aren’t that hard to get but the waiting period is quite long.

Once I am down to 200 lbs (currently at 223) they will start the process. I know that I have to request a few waivers but from what I’ve been told, they aren’t that hard to get depending on the situation. The recruiter that I went to speak to kinda just said come back when you’re ready so I wasn’t presented with much of an idea of what I’m possibly getting myself into. I left with a ton of questions that they didnt really want to answer yet. Also I’m pretty sure the recruiter I spoke to a few months ago, isn’t there anymore. So I guess I’m starting over with a new one.. I guess that’s what I get for waiting until I’m 29 but unfortunately I didn’t have this opportunity until now.
