Question
I want to know can a medical waiver be sent to two
different MEPs station, if it is not approved at one.
Sounds like you're trying to game the system. Unfortunately it won't work. You can jump from one Recruiter to another Recruiter in another state (each have different quotas) but once you've made it as far as a MEPS you're out of luck. The MEPS sends your waiver to the Surgeon General's office for a decision. There's only one Surgeon General's office so they will have already seen your name.
Sorry, but I appreciate your trying to serve.
