Im trying to noin the army. I went to MEPS and I had fucked up and told them about an infection i had in my foot about 3 years ago and i had to send in all the documents i had from a hospital visit. Its been about 3 weeks since the documents where sent in and they came back and said they need more documents, but i gave them everything from my records at that hospital. I did not go to a follow up appointment because the doctor said if the abscess hasnt resolved, or i still have issues from if come to a follow up appointment. I cant give them something that doesnt exist and if thats what they are referring to, what the hell am i supposed to do.

Get an official memo from that doctor on their official letterhead stating that there is no more medical documentation available per the request and that the medical treatment plan was completed with no need for further follow-up medical consultation.

Your case is not uncommon, where an applicant reveals medical history and the documentation is incomplete. In many cases, it is just like yours- the treatment protocol including the follow ups were never completed, hence your records missing the most important information-closure of the issue. You just need to go back to the doctor for a check up on the foot, and to get a letter stating that the condition is resolved.

You go to that Doctor for a follow up visit in reference to the issue. You let the Doctor do whatever examination is needed and explain the reason and have the Doctor type up something that details the closure of the issue and send it to MEPS. Additionally you get with your recruiter and explain things and they can advise you on anything else that needs to be done to close this loose end off.
