Why does meps take so long to send up paperwork to USAREC. My paperwork was sitting for 5 months at meps after being revised by everyone necessary at MEPS. Then it was sent back because I needed supporting documents got them in a week since then we have submitted my paperwork about 4 times to meps and still nothing is just at MEPS.
This is Fort Hamilton in New York. Should I just switch somewhere else I know is starting from 0 but I’ve been at this one for 11 months now. ?

Look man, this is your 4th post in the last week regarding MEPS and other nuances of MEPS and paperwork. We get it, its a slow process. You being prior service should know by now how slow the war machine moves. If it truly has been 11 months since this paperwork has been sitting at MEPS (It hasn't, because you just said they sent it back to you and requested supporting documents) then go ahead and call that station's IG and open a complaint. Call your congressman if you really want. Complaining on RallyPoint every few days will literally do nothing to improve the Fort Hamilton MEPS.

SPC Jeffrey Tamayo - Oh believe me, I have read every post you have submitted. You aren't looking for an answer at this point. There is no answer to, "why does MEPS take so long". You are just complaining on an open forum, frequently. I guess your "concerns" regarding your circumcision post were legit, but everything else is just a different form of "MEPS sucks, what can I do about it?"

Which is, nothing. You can do nothing about MEPS sucking and being slow unless you want to utilize your congressman or take a shot at IG (neither of which sound like a good option).

I been waiting on just my paperwork to regular process and was told yesterday was waiting on GC at Meps to give the ok. Its a process a long one and being prior service we are at the bottom of the barrel. But from what I have heard switching MEPS wont do nothing since everything is electronic and possibly take longer since the other MEPS would have to request packet from the other one.

Yea I’ve heard about that, I mean since I’m in nyc and there’s mad people here that’s why I thought but I feel you we def are at the bottom of the barrel, hopefully everything works out for both of us. Good luck to you. Now I’m waiting for them to send it up to USAREC cause all they needed was some letter from doctor but I turned those in like two months ago to meps is crazy

SPC Jeffrey Tamayo - Yeah I am going through the buffalo meps. I have drill this weekend so hoping it don't take long. Which is crazy my friend reports as a recruiter to the same station I am working with on the 7th. He said if it isn't processed by then he going to figure it out for me. Would think mine would be pretty simple since everything HRC already has on me and can pull up my Green status in medpros and all my records. But the process seems to be a half court heave and just hope it goes in.
