Thank you for the advice, GySgt!

I have been calling him every couple of weeks just to check in, and I'm due to call again on Monday. The NCOIC of the station has even been expressing his own...

fjmas, I'm thinking that may be the case. I think I remember the NCOIC at the RSS talking about a BUMED waiver and an ELS waiver.

How long did it take your waiver to go through and what was your...

Well, it's been almost two months since my last message, and I've made some progress.

I was able to find the last of the paperwork that MEPS was apparently waiting on and send it down, and that...

I am sure you are not the only one, GySgt.

Perhaps they just went ahead and sent the information off for a waiver already, and we're actually waiting on that? I honestly have no clue....

GySgt,

GySgt GyC and PFCs, thank you for your replies and motivation.

All of my medical records were sent along with the paperwork back in May, so all I can do for the moment is wait, keep training, and...

Pfc. Joseph, I actually did try to get into the OCC program while I was still working on a degree at UCF, unfortunately my OSO told me that the waiting list already had 12 candidates ready to ship...

Well, I thought I should post an introduction, though I wasn't sure where would be the best place to do that.

I do not consider myself a poolee yet, since I'm waiting on waivers before I can...
