How long should a medical waiver take?

The simple answer is how much the branch needs you. If we were trying to swell up the ranks, they'd probably put a rush job on the paperwork just to get you to basic training. On the other side, if we were trying to shrink the ranks, the recruiter might tell you that they can't get a waiver now for something they could waive a year ago.

Then there's recruiter quotas. Maybe the recruiter already has his numbers for this month, so he might string you along until next month and then suddenly all your paperwork gets signed and approved.

Like it's been said, there's many factors that could influence the process.

There is absolutely no way of telling you.

Depends on a huge amount of factors. What the medication was, how long you were on it, were your records complete enough, do you have any other issues, how were your grades...

As I'm sure your Recruiter told you, there's no way to know when the answer will be given. Be patient. This -is- going to take a while. Weeks or months. Impossible to know for sure.
