you get the waiver from a NOMI/NAMI.You could work with a civilian doctor to build your case before you send your app to the FS.
No, you don't have to go through MEPS. However, it is a common occurance because it's easy, and they're very accustomed to doing pre-commissioning physicals. The only requirement is that they use the DD-2808 and whatever the other one is. If you download the forms off the internet (and you can get it from the gocoastguard.com website if needed), you can take it to just about any military doctor, then show up at your OSO with it - and you're good.Alright another question.
Do I, for a USMC commission have to go through MEPS to do my physical?
I was told one thing by the Naval Hospital in Corpus and another thing by the the Gunny down here working for the OSO..
So here is an update. More frustration.
I did some pulmonary tests and blood work, everything was good to go.
I submitted my shit to MEPS again. The doc sent everything back saying he's not going to push it through because it is extremely unlikely that I will get a waiver for all three things(read top to see what I'm talking about). Now, I've read through the waiver guide, and I've read through a lot of other things on the NOMI site, and I'm fucking good to go dammit!
I'm not sure what else to do? If, I was enlisted or something, I could just request the damned things myself, but I'm not.
Any ideas as to how to handle the MEPS Dr.?
First the doc does not push it and makes no difference what he writes. it comes back to your Officer recruiting team and they send it with your application or they can do a curtisy review. THE DOC AT MEPS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. HE JUST WRITES QUALIFIED OR NOT QUALIFIED with all your stuff your are not qualifed and were not going to be qualifed when you went to MEPS you have two disqualifing items from the start and no matter what you do THE MEPS has to disqualify you by instruction and it is up to 00M to give you waivers. If you look at the forms MEPS gave you it says if waivers are reccomended or not reccomend this is all that matters.
read the paperwork the MEPS gave you
waivers have been given for these things but each case is different. your PFT if good and the right one will do the trick for asthma. YOUR DEPRESSION AND DRUGS will be the sticky point and again i don't know your story. are you even a strong candidate other wise?
