I am trying to reenlist into the Air Force. I was discharged from boot camp from MCRD Parris Island due to a fractured femoral neck. My RE code is RE-3P. Everything was going smooth until the recruiter told me I needed a surgical release form. I was advised three different ways to advance through the process.
1. Wait for the form to come through.
2. Get a memorandum for record and provide updated x-rays and a report from a physician. I have no idea who I would contact to get the memo?
3. Try to upgrade my reenlistment code. Since there was nothing wrong with my DD-214 and I am just trying to upgrade the code I do not know if I should contact the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) or the Naval Discharge Review Board (NDRB).
Since I am posting here option 1 is not on the table. I have x-rays and a physician's report stating I am healed and there are no abnormalities. Just trying to make sure I choose the best route going forward.

Your biggest issue is the P. Permanent are hard to waiver as one physician is basically overriding another. Your documentation and the memo provided by a physician, I would say an orthopedic specialist whose focus is Femoral Fractures would be where I would go for a letter. Forgive me if I stated the wrong field, the point is that it need to be a specialist not a family practitioner. Once that is straight you stand a good chance with recruitment.

If you were ever in Amy VA hospitals for anything, that stuff isn't through eVetRecs, you'd have to go to any VA Hosp ROI off, release of infoz their med record offices, to get your stuff, VA main won't have it, they could get it, however, each VA Hosp keeps its own, I've gathered...all svc stuff is held by NPRC, I've gathered as well, however....
