Good Afternoon Everyone,
I'm a reservist with 2/23 and am trying to make a move to 4th Force. Everything I need to do is complete except for the medical portion.
I've never had an EKG done before, but I went to NAS Lemoore to get labs done and received some bad news regarding a heart condition. I'm asymptomatic and have been cleared by my civilian cardiologist, but the Undersea Medical Officer has denied me. I'm told that I need to now submit a request to BUMED for a waiver.
I am desperate for help and advice on how I can increase my chances of success. I've sacrificed a lot over the last year in order to make this happen, and to receive this terrible news is really getting to me.
If anyone has any advice, tips, or recommendations on what to do or whom to speak with, please let me know.
Thank you all for your help.
Edit: I realize there are multiple threads on this topic already, but most are not regarding NSW/SO, and the majority are for folks trying to get into the Marine Corps.
