Can another recruiter in the same branch see your open packet/waiver status?

I have a recruiter that informed me that he has done everything on his end and now we are waiting for an RE3 waiver to be approved. Initially he told me the waiver would take 3 days, then 1 month and could take 6 months. He has admitted many times that he doesn't want to be a recruiter which makes me believe that my packet hasn't been sent up. He also mention that the there is a delay in waivers for the Indiana Army National guard, as he received that email just a couple of days ago. I don't mind waiting, but I don't have a good feeling that my packet is sent up. I would like to call another office to see if they see my packet or if he is just giving me the run around.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Yes another Indiana ARNG recruiter will be able to tell you the status of your waiver. The confusion over the projected time line could be a couple of reasons: The recruiter is a soup sandwich. The approval authority may be have changed (enlistment standards can be altered each quarter depending on higher policy guidance). As processing was completed, there were more issues involved than originally identified.
