How does the process work for getting a criminal waiver in order to take your physical at MEPS?

Two weeks ago I had to submit a criminal waiver, on the day of meps my recruiting office realized I needed a criminal misconduct waiver for a resist arrest charge. I was denied to go to meps for my physical, we submitted the waiver. Two weeks later I got a call saying im approved for my physical, as a step to approve my waiver. Does anyone know how this works? Getting approved to meps a good sign?

It's a good sign. Now you just have to wait until your Recruiter can get you slotted for a MEPS visit.

The MEPS folks know status. Unless somebody goofed they likely wouldn't have scheduled you without a wink or nod on waiver. Recruiter should know. Most waivers are telephonic, some get tricky. Good luck. Keep your nose clean, as this is in your record, or will be.
