Question
I was in the national guard but was MED boarded for stress fracture so i am going for a wavier its been over 8 months since the injure and i was clear by a doctor and turn in the paperwork to my recruiter its been over 3 month from when he said he sent it and my recruiter keeps telling that he hasn't heard anything yet is there anyway to find out from someone else i want to get back and finish what i started
Your recruiter isnt checking. medical waivers come back in a week's time. My offfice submits medical waivers every week (we have 12 recruiters) and the average is 8 days to a return of an answer. The waiver was never submitted I would guess. Time to talk to his supervisor.

Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter , been doing it for seven years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 13 years in the Guard. I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is different, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so. Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.
