Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Rangers and all, Today is finally the day. After almost 2 years of trying to reenlist, I was able to sign my enlistment papers. I was able to obtain the MOS I wanted, 11X. After going back and forth with my guidance counselor for 2 hours, I was unfortunately not able to get Option 40 because of my m...

Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Ranger Jim, I had a great Christmas. I hope you had a Merry Christmas too. My recruiter contacted me today to inform me that I need to come in to the recruiting station next week to fill out more paperwork for a RE Code/Admin waiver. This is for the RE Code when I first got discharged. He also infor...

Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Ranger Jim, I received a call Friday morning from my recruiter that I was scheduled for an eye consult this morning (20161219). I reported to MEPS this morning and after waiting for 3 hours, I was told that I no longer needed an eye consult. They told me that even though the CMO scheduled me for an ...

Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Rangers and all, I have spoke with my recruiter today in regards to an update on my situation. It seems that the MEPS CMO required that I see an additional eye consultant outside of MEPS. My recruiter was not aware of this until today. The MEPS CMO also said nothing of this when I saw her at the end...

Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Ranger Jim,

I followed up with my recruiter last Monday (20161205) and there has not been any word back from USAREC yet in regards to my medical waiver. I will continue to wait and follow up with my recruiter next Monday (20161212) to see if there has been any word yet.

Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Rangers and all, Today (20161128), I was finally able to return to LA MEPS to do the full physical. The First Sergeant got involved and somehow was able to get me finally scheduled for the physical. The next step from here is to wait to get word back from USAREC in regards to the approval of my medi...

Rangers and all,

I have finally received word that MEPS has approved for me to go take the physical. I am scheduled to go to MEPS on 20161117 to take the physical. This may not be any big news, but at least I am finally one step closer.

Re: Introduction - Always_Strive

Rangers and all, I was able to get into contact with my recruiter yesterday. According to him, there has been no word yet from the LA MEPS on when I can take the physical. As of now, all I can do is wait to take the physical. In the mean time, I will continue to work on my PT and study the Ranger hi...
