So a few months back I came on here about a mental health waiver and such. Back in April I actually got my waiver approved to go to MEPS. I went to MEPS, passed my asvab and my physical however i wasn’t able to sign a contract because I needed an RE waiver. This meant I needed to take the navy PFA, gather some references to write letters of recommendation for me and type up some reasons whyd I’d like to join the navy and give this whole experience a try again seeing as to how I was discharged from coast guard boot camp back in 2019. I handed in everything for my RE waiver on May 10th 2021. Today (July 8th) I got news I need more incentives for my waiver. If anybody could help give more clarification as to what incentives are, what that means, the next steps of that, etc. Back in May i was told this last RE waiver wouldn’t take as long as the first medical waiver and was ready to sign a contract to leave late September. Now I’m unsure of the next steps in figuring out when or if I can leave o Great Lakes. Any help, tips, or experience with this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I don't know what you wrote, but look in your heart and write down why you want to go back into the service. What do have to offer them and what steps will you take to ensure that you are an asset to your unit/boat and to the service? If you were discharged from boot camp due to stress, depression, or anxiety what will be different this time? How will you handle stress when it gets worse during deployments or emergencies?

Kay Miller as long as you can show that the medical condition no longer exists you should have a decent shot! Good luck!

Kay Miller what’s the letter behind it?

I’m not sure what more incentive they would need but it would likely be up to the approving officer what is enough. Look at the Navy core values (or whatever they have) and try to provide documents that support those.
Some example would be references from employers and teachers, any volunteer work you’ve done or. Lasses you’ve taken, etc.

I provided 3 references from the mayor of my town, a former coach and former teacher as well as answered the questions of why i want to go to the navy, what would be different this time, etc. I even handed in paperwork and notes from a mental health professional saying i am fit to do so. I just feel confused as to what more i would need.

Kay Miller yeah it’s tough but you gotta think about the weight more than the amount in my opinion. For example, unless you’ve worked directly for or with the mayor his reference doesn’t mean too much.
Remember to a commander you’re just a guy/girl who failed out of CG bootcamp for one reason or another. So looking at it from their perspective, what would set you apart from the thousands of other people who would like to enlist?
