DQ'ed by MEPS
Was trying to enlist, but MEPS said to try again in 4 months because of a surgery I had 2 months ago. I was hoping since it was minor and outpatient that I wouldn't have to wait, but now I'm not eligible until July 14. At least it's not a permanent, but I'm still pretty bummed.

I had the same issue when I enlisted. Just wait and you should have no problems. Stay in touch with your recruiter, stay active and keep motivated because your time will come. Four months ain't that long.

What kind of surgery did you have?
It wouldn't hurt and just to be on the safe side, make sure you get a copy of all the paperwork that your current recruiter has on you now so you can give to your new recruiter when you get to Maryland.

My recruiter said I can still work with him from home so all I can do now it wait and continue to stay in shape.

Also, be sure to get all paperwork on the surgery if you don't already have it, along with a letter written and signed by your surgeon or doctor stating his opinion on your condition in 4 months time. This stuff all looks good if a waiver is required by BUMED.
Good luck!

I heard some people signing up for a 3 year active/5 year IRR contract. Do those really exist and are they hard to get?

Here is what I don't understand. I don't know if MEPS said the 6 mont wait or my recruiter just assumed it. Either way, my recruiter won't work with me until july.
If I held off on the surgery, I would have went to MEPS, they would see my issue and that it qualified for the medical remedial enlistment program. That way I would have shipped for recruit training and receive the surgery from the government before I start training. They would give me up to 8 weeks to recover.
Why do I have to wait 6 months to enlist when their own policy says I would be physically qualified for training after 8 weeks?

With all the machine gun posts you are making here I would say you have become a pain in the asss. Slacken up!
