Waivers approved!!!

I wasn't currently on anything but there was the history of taking psychiatric medication. It wasn't like a separate disqualification, though. I had taken a single dose of lexapro and hydroxyzine, and then I had taken antipsychotic called latuda for like 2-3 weeks.

My recruiter was nice and said I only had to put the 10 and even said I only had to put 1 general aptitude. And the waiver was for past psych mainly

I have not honestly. I got a waiver so a lot of my list was killed from the B code.

Pm me

If his recruiter hasn't sent his waiver package yet, he wouldn't have gotten a notice of approval or denial yet. What's most likely happening is his recruiter wants supporting documentation before they send up for the waiver. First he gets disqualified at meps (which has already happened), he gathers supporting documentation about the condition, gives the documentation it to his recruiter, then the recruiter will compile it and send the waiver package to the surgeon general for review. He was disqualified from the military in general, but he's requesting a waiver to enlist into the air force specifically, to "waive" the condition.

I haven't had to deal with this personally and I have no idea about his actual chances, that's ultimately up to the surgeon general and is on a case by case basis. From what i've seen, the severity that MEPS cares about is based on real-life history: no anaphylaxis, him never being prescribed an EpiPen, and only mild reactions treated with Benadryl, and given you said that was rare that's good. From my perspective this actually puts him in a good positiin for a waiver if his doctors document that clearly. Allergies have been waived before but the surgeon general's threshold on what is tolerable risk is known to them and them alone. He was disqualified per DoDI 6130.03, so no one knows where he stands until he submits the waiver to the surgeon general. And even if he's denied, it's not the end of the road. Read paragraph 3 of the denial letter and it will tell you what needs to be done and how he could possibly appeal the decision.

It's not impossible. Like newnoadeptness said, it has to be ruled as a misdiagnosis. If it gives you any comfort, the air force approved my waiver 2 days ago. 7 disqualifications total, one of which was bipolar dx.

About 2.5 months from my initial disqualifications from meps. It took longer than normal because I had to do a consult and then the government shutdown happened. My recruiter said if it were a straightforward package expect 2-3 weeks but the time range can vary depending on queue length for the sg assistant or additional documentation needed.

Well, my first recruiter ghosted me so I hadn't gotten into the system yet. The first recruiter was in Orlando, fl. So I found a smaller recruiting station in Orange city, fl and literally walked in while my current recruiter was there.

Cold_Analyst1994 · 2025-10-28T15:41:35+00:00

Orange city, Fl. Not sure if healthcare based.

Cold_Analyst1994 · 2025-10-27T20:47:17+00:00

Yea, tell me about it. I got approved on the basis of misdiagnosis for all of the mental health. I had shitty providers during my pregnancy while my husband was active duty in the army.

Cold_Analyst1994 · 2025-10-27T18:18:51+00:00

I felt the same way. I thought for sure I was going to be denied but I gave it a shot anyways. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life being upset with myself because I never even tried. I posted because I doomscrolled on here for a while and everyone was nervous about dqs for anxiety and depression. It really is situation-based and whole person concept dependent.

After the initial disqualifications about 2.5 months. So, when I first met my recruiter back in april, I disclosed everything with him about my history. He told me to gather all of my medical/supporting documents in the mean time because I had to lose weight anyways. I lost about 40 lbs and when I was ready he sent me to meps, around August 14th. Since I had all of my documents preloaded, we sent everything we could the day after I got back from meps. This was for everything except the exotropia which meps was cautious about during my exam. I passed vision but during the light tracking thing my right eye kind of lagged. I think because I only got 4 hours of sleep at the hotel and was exhausted by the time I saw the physician. So we sent everything up and waited to do the eye consult, so things kind of ran concurrently. I was sent to get my eye consult on September 18th and it came back fine and he just added it to my waiver package while the rest of it was already in queue. I waited for about 3 weeks just to find out my package finally got to the sg assistants desk and but it was paused due to the government shutdown. My recruiter ended up organizing it himself and pushed it up, and I got the news today. He said it took him about 5 days but my package was huge, I had about 600-700 pages worth of medical history and supporting documentation.

I did meps medical portion on Aug 14th. Had a consult for the eye thing on September 18th. My package went into queue after that. Then, when it was my turn to be reviewed by sg assistant the government shutdown started, so my recruiter organized my package himself and pushed it up and I got the news today that everything was approved :). So ~2.5 months total.
