PVT Private RallyPoint Member 4262860 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I got discharged from basic 9 months ago due to hip stress fractures . I got cleared from my orthopedic doctor and sent up all my medical documents from Fort Jackson in a med read to Meps . We first sent it ( oct 10) still heard nothing back and then re sent it up (dec 20) My re enlistment code is Re-3 JFV . My med read packet is 50 pages long. Why is the process taking so long ? Also I know I’m gonna need a waiver for my stress fractures , is that waiver hard to get approved ? Do I have a good shot at re joining or should I make a plan B ? I don’t want to get my hopes up 2019-01-05T23:05:40-05:00 PVT Private RallyPoint Member 4262860

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The rule of thumb is 5 days for the first 5 pages 1 day for each additional page.By thatyours should take about 14 days to process. These are business days. Now with that said- if it got kicked back because something wasn’t right or something the time frame starts over. Around the second submission was the holidays so time off from work occurred. And frankly these things can take time with a bunch of back and forth- every doctor wants things their way. Waiver wise- again these things take time. But yes, it could very well be approved. I’ve seen all sorts of things approved that blew my mind. But there is always the possibility it won’t.<br />If this is what you want then you simply need to be patient.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends. Could be a couple days, weeks, months. MEPS is backlogged

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Should only take a few days....I say again should because meps can occasionally get back logged with paperwork
