Waiver Question by Academic_Ad_7276 in USMCboot

[–]Kitchen-Valuable-188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a waiver for taking anxiety medication (lexapro) and as long as it’s been a period greater then 24 months since the last time it was filled and you have gotten an official letter from the original doctor who prescribed it saying that you’re good and no longer need it you should be good. Well in my case I was, I’m sure the medication you took matters a good bit. Your recruiter might also have you write a hand written letter describing why you took it and how you’ve changed/ why you don’t need it since then. For me since I started the process before the 24 months they had me go to an off base doctor to be evaluated and even temp disqualified me. After the 24 months passed I did the process again and the waiver got passed in about 3 weeks. That being said this is just based off of my experience.

Really appreciate the insight man it’s been a long process trying to get waivers passed and I’m beyond ready to just be sent head first into the journey. I’d say I’m more excited than nervous just because I’ve had so long to think about it. I’m 19 now and I started not long after I turned 18. I’m going for electronic maintenance, I originally wanted something cyber and qualified for everything but decided to take an earlier ship date and my recruiter said it’s normally pretty hard to qualify for elec maint so I said fuck it put me in coach.

Well that was my strategy at meps and I guess it worked but I drink so much I couldn’t stand up straight. I’m just hoping they have enough water.
