Your waiver depends on the degree of your waiver. <br /><br />It would go to a district commander of your branch Fir example the Recruitment Commander of your district of recruiters, next if it needs to go higher it would go to a regional panel of other Commanders of those people a military physician may be among them. Could take a few weeks for an answer if it goes higher than the district.

It is is denied that’s it for that branch. Unless you can appeal it.

The length depends on how complex it is. He may ask for more test or documentation, in which you would go back to your doctor for. So it can be up in the air. If he says no, he can refer it to thebleve above him (OTSG) and that typically takes 30-45 days. <br /><br />I am not certain how it works in the NPS centers from reading others NCO’s responses on here but it Chaplain Recruiting, we receive direct workflows from the SG that states his decisions. So, me telling you this is from my end. I can’t say if it’s different or not for other recruiters.
