I made the decision to join the US AF I’m excited and ready to go but I’m playing a waiting game right now. I had a bad accident when I was 10(20 now) and broke both of my legs. I have no problems with them now, no limitations and have been cleared by doctors. I retrieved ALL of my medical documents from the hospital and physical therapy which ended up being over 2,000 pages. My recruiter has to send them to MEPS and they have to review and process them. I asked her about how long it would take and the only answer I got was “a while”. I want a little more specifics on what “a while” is. I’ve already taken my ASVAB and scored well on it and my recruiter said that I can’t go to MEPS and get my physical until they’ve processed those records. Any advice, comments, or experience with a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.

As long as it takes. You are one of 100+ or even 1k+ waiting on waivers/reviews. The service will never march to your time line, but you will march to theirs.

So well put. To the OP, listen to anyone whose rank starts with SGM — they know their stuff (can we say SHxx?)... seriously, too.
