Default MED Q for RECUITER

I want to join, i took physical last july but at the time i was sick. My recuriter still insisted to me going. I went and passed everything except the hearing. From my understanding he sent up 2 waivers which got denied. I was still sick when those waivers went up. Then i took a hearing test with my own doctor months later to prove my hearing was normal. Spoke to a different recuriter and he put up for a waiver and it got denied. He said that med docs felt someone took it for me which was not the case. Now, my q is can i still try to join at a different location because i have moved and i know my info will go to a different MEPs, and use the same test that i tried for a waiver? If so, what would be the chances of that being approved?...

Nope, all of your Med documents and physicals will be faxed to the next MEPS. Your best bet is to get another test, make certain you get witness statements from the receptionist, any assistants and the doctor stating they each saw your ID and confirm you are in fact said person. Make them write statements, sign and date them. Have your doctor writing a statement no only including the above, but also the end results of the hearing test. Have him put his contact information at the bottom.

Whether you get the wavier or not depends a) on your actual hearing and b) how your recruiter handles it.

Default Couple of Q's

Thanks for the reply, the funny thing is that i did have him write a statement and they still disapproved it.Now I'm wondering if i just take another test and have him do a statement and id check etc, will this be the same case again or how many times will they look and review it...meaning how many waivers are allowed to be sent up. Another thing, since they disapproved it and so did national guard i tried Marines. Marines approved it on one shot. The only problem now is that i have a tattoo on my neck which i have removed and its a really faint color. They will not accept me until its gone. Because i want to leave ASAP i am going to try with the Army again as far as the hearing test. Does anybody know if any states wil approve a waiver for someone with a tattoo on their neck which covers with a collared shirt and some covers with a t-shirt?. POINT IS i want to be a Marine but if not i'll be in the Army.
