anti-depressants...a bad word?

KC130FE

Livin' the Life!
My OSO submitted my ESPQ to MEPS yesterday and the anti-depressants + asthma shot up all sorts of red flags and they sent it back. Even though I've been extremely active with running and such for over a year and been off the anti-depressants for 4, they still want more. I can understand that they are just covering their backs, but I went through quite a bit of hell just to get the ESPQ submitted. Letters and statements and stuff from doctors, and they still want more.

The point of this post.
Get in as early as possible. Get your info submitted as early as possible, especially if you have this kind of stuff on your medical records. You will more than likely have to be waivered, and it WILL take time. I don't think I'm gonna get to go to the PLC increments this summer. I'm going to fight MEPS to the bitter end.

Provided you are up front with the MEPS weinnies and have proper documentation, there is a waiver for everything. But you are right. Patience is key. And be ready to go ASAP when the waiver is approved. Good luck!
