James Stroup5091299<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had a waiver sent in about early-mid August after I completed MEPS. My direct commission packet was submitted to the board on September 10th with an exception to policy since my medical waiver hadn't come back yet. Now my board status is "pending exception," which my recruiter is thinking means I was selected, but they won't release the official results until my medical waiver status comes back. Today marks about 8 weeks for the medical waiver being at OTSG. I know that it's basically one person reviewing all the waiver requests, and they review them in the order they come in. I just didn't think it would take 8 weeks. Anyone have any idea if I should expect news next week or should I just get comfortable waiting for a while longer? I was really hoping I would find out this week...How long does it take to get a medical waiver?2019-10-04T19:17:00-04:00James Stroup5091299<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had a waiver sent in about early-mid August after I completed MEPS.

My waiver for my eyes took around a month or so. It was a pretty straight forward simple waiver since everything went through fine with the specialist at MEPS. It’s also the fall and several boards just met or are meeting so they are probably flooded with medical waivers right now so it might take a little longer. <br /><br />The sad answer is it takes as long as it takes.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 4 at 2019 8:20 PM2019-10-04T20:20:14-04:002019-10-04T20:20:14-04:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member5094754<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This process can take a while, depending on staff available to review the requests.
