Is there anything I can or should be doing now to help myself and my recruiter (Reenlisting after JFW RE-3 discharge)?

So background: I got out of army back in 2014 with a JFW and re entry code 3. Now I'm trying to get back in and, currently, feel kinda useless.
Like its been 4 years and, since then, I've graduated high school, stopped smoking completely (cigarettes I dont touch weed), got a car, moved on my own, and work full time. I have no record whatsoever and dont even have a speeding ticket to my name.
According to my recruiter, I pretty much just gotta keep doing what im doing. My stuff got sent in, my therapist sent her letter of support (and some progress notes with permission). I told the recruiter everything thats gone down since 2014. He sent in the paperwork on the 23rd. Now he says we wait. Though I feel like I can do more and be slightly more productive and helpful.
Part of me knows im definitely being antsy now, since its pretty important news for me, and im close to several branch bases. Another part of me feels useless though, especially given the speed at which everything else went. Like progress each day then halt...
Like I dont know, am I just being impatient or is there really something more I can be doing to help myself and my recruiter?
Also: Lets say I'm given the green light. Would I have to retake the asvab? Last time was my junior year, same year I got out, and my MOS was 92Y. I was also in the reserves and thats what I'm trying to get back in. I dont know if that's relevant or not, but if it is, its provided now.

Christian King As the recruiter said, now you wait. If additional information is needed, the recruiter will let you know. It sounds like you have your life together. Good luck.

Christian King Great questions, unfortunately and regrettably you are now in the hurry up a d wait phase. That being said study and be prepared for the ASVAB. Prior pre-planning prevents piss poor performance. I wish you great success.

Thanks a lot. I decided to wait some more and am in that phase. My recruiter assumes I'm good since I've done nothing but improve my finances substantially since we initially spoke. I scored relatively well on my ASVAB but have to retake since its been a while, which I don't mind. Atnleast I am moving along! Apparently its kind of a good thing I have a lack of info to give them, and not from hiding or anything.
