I have positive hopes and know that the surgeon general is just really busy I guess I really shouldn't even start to get concerned until two months have passed?
I'm not even sure how long waivers normally take. My waiver took a little over three weeks, and it just went through so hang in [there]. It'll get done. It takes awhile. Good luck. Good luck with that. This whole joining process for me which began in December has definitely taught me patience, and to not get so worked up about everything and let things just happen.
I've done all I needed to do; now I just need to be positive and wait. Antidepressants are disqualifying for one year after you stop taking them. You must stop with your doctor's advice; do not stop on your own. These medications often have to be reduced slowly to lower side effects and reduce risk of relapse. Once you are off and depression free for one year, get copies of your treatment paperwork, including therapy notes, and take them to your recruiter.
They will submit the documents to MEPS for review. MEPS either will DQ you, allow you to physical and enlist, or allow you to physical with a waiver most likely. You'll need to bring my medical records from the doctor who prescribed the antidepressants.
Your records will be sent to the AF surgeon general's office for review. This supposedly takes between six weeks and three months -- mine took a full three months. If the waiver is granted, you'll be cleared to return to MEPS. The doctor will send his recommendation to MEPS, where you will be reviewed further. This took nearly five weeks for me. If you are deemed fit for service, you will return to MEPS for job selection. Contrary to what I was initially told, depression rules out many jobs in the AF.
Will this affect my enlistment? I am currently finishing my first year in college and looking to enlist in the Air Force. When I was 18, I received an underage drinking ticket at a New Year's party.
I looked it up, and it said it was a "non-traffic ordinance violation. As long as you paid it, talk to your recruiter about it. It could come up and haunt you if you don't. Here recently I've been leaning toward the AF. The problem is, I want to make a year career out of the military.
I would like to get the best job available and get promoted on a regular basis. I would rather not be cut and sent home, so my question is; How safe would it be to join the AF for the long run, compared to the Navy? If you get something that you end up not liking, cross-training may be available to you.
Promotions are not candy. While there are percentages and ceilings on the amount every time, you're responsible for your promotions in the long run. If you are coming into the Air Force and you want to earn things through good, old-fashioned hard work, you will be just fine.
If you come into the Air Force and are lazy or don't give a darn and think the world will just come to you on a silver platter?
Those are the folks that are going to be weeded out. We enlist for what we can give, not what we can receive.
That's why we call it "The Service;'' we serve others before we even think of serving ourselves. Your family, friends and your children will miss you as terribly as you miss them, and they'll never want you to leave their side again. It is the sad, true nature of the military family.
This is something you're going to have to face square on, or you're doomed before you begin. You say you want to enlist to provide a better life for your children? Wrong, dead wrong if you're enlisting for the benefits. There are a lot of easier ways to make a living than being in the military, because it's not just a job.
