yakfishr19 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 My recruiter is telling me I have to wait 6 months for my MEPS physical and the same or longer for flight physical. I had PRK 16 DEC 2011 and im wanting to get my packet up and going but it is my MEPS and FLIGHT PHYSICAL that are holding me up, any advice?

t.o.n.y Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Assuming they're right, work on the rest of your packet. Do any LORs you can do now, wait for those that you'll have to do later (showing test scores and such). Revise your resume and essay. Work on bettering your APFT score, whatever it may be. And don't lose motivation during the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudly Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I was curious about this as well. I thought I read somewhere that someone got a waiver which allowed him to do it after 3 months. It seemed like he wasn't able to get it until physically at MEPS, so I'm not sure. Can anyone clarify how you would go about getting this waiver and if it's even physically possible? Thanks!

akscott60 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I had to wait six months until I could take the physical after PRK. However, I do think you can waiver it down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I believe I also had to wait 6 months after LASIK...but I *believe* it was NorCalHeliKid who obtained a waiver that allowed him to get it after 3 months. Either way, 6 months isn't really very long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
