I actually talked to him about changing my point of contact, because I moved back to California. I would actually be ok with it delaying my process a tad bit, but hopefully nothing like 6 months.
Update for all of the SWO's. Just got a call from my OR. Apparently Big Navy wants updated medical and a PQ (?Physical Qualification?) letter before they'll release my Fin Sel so I gotta head back down to MEPS soon to do that. @Bluecore since you're in Cali and you were out of NRD SA, heads up here. Something you may want to talk to your contact about. I'm guessing this is because of the length of time us SWO's have been waiting since MEPS? @RUFiO181 or @NavyOffRec either of you guys heard of this/can confirm or comment?
Yeah, I had to do MEPS twice. I think the first time I did it was in January '14, and then the second time was in September '14. It wasn't quite as annoying the second time since I only had to update a few things (i.e., height, weight, etc.) I didn't have to do any of the more intrusive tests again. Though I did have to do those joint mobility drills...Update for all of the SWO's. Just got a call from my OR.

IIRC, MEPS visits are only valid for 1 year which might explain it, but I'm sure RUFiO or NavyOffRec will correct me if that's incorrect.
