I got cleared from my orthopedic doctor and sent up all my medical documents from Fort Jackson in a med read to Meps . We first sent it ( oct 10) still heard nothing back and then re sent it up (dec 20) My re enlistment code is Re-3 JFV . My med read packet is 50 pages long. Why is the process taking so long ? Also I know I’m gonna need a waiver for my stress fractures , is that waiver hard to get approved ? Do I have a good shot at re joining or should I make a plan B ?

These are business days. Now with that said- if it got kicked back because something wasn’t right or something the time frame starts over. Around the second submission was the holidays so time off from work occurred. And frankly these things can take time with a bunch of back and forth- every doctor wants things their way. Waiver wise- again these things take time. But yes, it could very well be approved. I’ve seen all sorts of things approved that blew my mind. But there is always the possibility it won’t.<br />If this is what you want then you simply need to be patient.
