I have a medical record for a strained shoulder, my arm moves perfectly fine with no limitations. When I went to MEPS the doctor saw that i had no issues. I gave my medical record to my recruiter and I haven’t heard anything about it being signed by the doctor. It’s been about 3 weeks now, my recruiter told me it was only going to take 2, is it normal for it to take this long? To give a little background to how this came up, I originally wanted to sign up for the AF Reserve but after talking to some friends in the military I decided to just active in the AF. Well the recruiter for the reserve told me I didn’t need my medical record, but the active duty recruiter told me I did after going through MEPS.

Elaborate, OK? What AFSC did you want? What do you ultimately want? Senior enlisted? Commissioned? Would you think about warrant? Do you want a full 20-30 years or just to do a term or two and get out and go civilian? Have you looked at other svcs? Would you? How much college? High school AP coursework? Assocs? Bach? GPA? Grades? Specific course titles? STEM? Non-STEM? Clinical? Nonclinical? Are you prior at all? You didn't !mention it, so I'm assuming not, if you were prior it'd help to know, OK? The more you elaborate, the more we can all suggest, be as specific and highly detailed as possible, OK? Hobbies? Reading interests? Sports esp martial arts if any? Are you running now? Have you had the shoulder imaged at all, assumedly MRI? Have you new for outside look by orthopedics, and/or physiatry/rehab med, not just PT? Knowing all that would help us answer you...you could always call your recruiting district, or ask to speak with the district directly, I'd suppose, just a thought, OK? I'd he eager to hear more, also, how much therapy and/or surgical stuff has has been involved? A SLAP or Bankart procedure? Have you had a shoulder arthroscopy at all? I just know about such things as I'd been doctoral allied health before my total perm disability, though we shut my license off sevl uars ago, however, during all my residency stuff, I helped with a good deal of such things as part of my enrichment exposure, hat was why I was curious to ask, obviously, only tell as much as you deem suitable, however, if you haven't had such recent outside assess!ent, I'd certainly get it, by all !eams, honest, open that was at least of some use, in any event....

It can take longer, however you deserve an answer since you were given a date. Contact the recruiter, they know who in MEPS to contact.
