Blood pressure waiver for OCS

I have a blood pressure waiver because I get all amped up when I get my pressure read (my Mom does the same and calls it white-coat syndrome lol) It was high at MEPS so they had me go to my physician 3-4 times over a week and I got all low, normal readings because I was able to relax. Here's my question: I have a feeling I'll be at in-processing this summer at OCC 192 and get amped up and nervous, especially because I have the waiver. Will they send me packing if I get a high reading despite my waiver?

I don't think they will send you packing. Your symptoms are not that uncommon.

Dude everyone will be nervous and have BP that reads high. They may retake it a few times, they may not. I wouldn't worry about it.

you had to get a waiver for that? I had to do the same thing with going 3 times and don't need a waiver. My mom calls it white coat syndrome also thats funny.
