<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Processing and notification are two different things. Just because you did not hear anything does not mean they did not process it. Check with your recruiter.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1715389" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1715389-josh-alien">Josh Alien</a> As you have been correctly informed, dont confuse processing time with response time.<br />Response time is based on several factors, from network availability both MEPS and the systems they need to use to screen the application, as well as the recruit they are screening. Some things they may need to confirm, denied for, waive for could take days or weeks to longer. Both internal decision making and outside agencies they are waiting on a response form, so MEPS can compile the pre-screening reason and send it to the recruiter.<br /><br />So your doing the right thing, keep in contact with the recruiter often but not pestering....He is at the end of notification not part of the screening process...he wants the response back as much as you do

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>regulations only apply when they need/want you to do something for them, not when you need/want them to do something for you. Drive on, be flexible, stay hydrated and embrace the suck!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Because it&#39;s Meps and they make up their own rules as they go along.
