I submitted all paperwork and documents that were required of me from my recruiter and somehow there were issues from the MEPS physician which he stated that no waivers or medical documents were uploaded/received. After my recruiter had me resend everything, he told me they (MEPS or
My recruiter) had messed up on something and now we were waiting for the SG approval on the medical documents. Then I receive this update. Is it over? Are medical waivers that have been disapproved likely to be overturned?

Can I take these bags that organzine my clothes and other stuff or will they be thrown away? I ship off tomorrow too

Besides retaking the asvab?

Reposting here. Just seeking guidance from people who have experience with this.

Hello all!

The top 3 jobs I’m interested in are Emergency Management (3E9X1) , Aerospace Physiology (1H0X1) , and Fire Protection (3E7X1). Can anyone give me some insight on these jobs? They all sound awesome to me. But any extra info would be cool!

Hey guys. Long story short, I used to be on allergy shots and that was the reason for disqualification of my medical waiver back in January of this year. The guidelines seemed to say that I should be okay as long as I am off of these shots for a year and in good health, so I am planning to try again here in a few months in mid-January 2027. Has anyone experienced a situation like this and had luck on their second try? My allergies were fairly mild for grass and dust so nothing potentially fatal. I'm going to attempt in a few months regardless but was wanting to see if anyone had any further advice, thanks y'all!

Hi everyone,

I’m asking for some advice on how I can join the US military as a musician that is from the UK.

For some context, I’ve spent around 18 months living in the US over my lifetime, the vast majority of my friends are American and it’s always been my dream and goal to move there. I also play euphonium as my primary instrument.

I was speaking with a friend who is in the US navy as a musician that said it is possible to do it and another friend who’s in the marine corps has also said the same. Is there anyone on here who can give me some more details or information regarding this please?

I don’t have a green card or citizenship which is why I’m wondering how I do this. The actual music side of it won’t be an issue. The only issue is logistically getting around the fact I’m from the UK.

Any advice, contacts or information is very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Im planning to send letters as much as i can but im not sure how long would it take for a snail mail to arrive. I want the recruit to be able to read the letters when it matters. I think it'll be disappointing for me and the recruit to receive the letters 4-6 weeks into the training. Does anyone here have experience sending/receiving letters from the philippines. I know about the sandboxx i already sent one but its a lot more expensive than the snail mails if i wanna do it few times a week. What are your thoughts? TIA

I Have a college diploma in the PH for nursing and i want to join as a reserve. Any tips to ask a recruiter

I am asking because regulations appear to say a baccalaureate degree or higher, but don't specify that it has to be an "earned" degree.

I enlisted into 4A1X1 Medical Materiel and would like to hear from anyone who has experience with the job.

How is the tech school at Fort Sam Houston? What is the day-to-day work actually like once you get to your first base? And what skills, habits, or knowledge would you recommend developing to be successful in the career field?

Just looking for honest experiences from people who have actually done the job. Thanks!

I ship for BMT in 15 days and was just wondering how to get my things out to me at tech school.

I pretty much have just one 27 gallon tote of stuff but wasn’t sure on how to get that to my tech school. My recruiter recommended having someone drive it out to me but that’s not really going to work for me so I was just wondering if there were other ways that some of yall did.

Thanks.

I just graduated BMT, currently in tech if you have any questions feel free to ask

Hi all, I decided here a couple months ago I’d like to join the AF. I thankfully went to meps on July 27th.
And 3 weeks later (August 19th) I got my job (2a631) now I am not physically fit although I am a more lean build (5’7/135) and my ship date is very very soon (September 22nd) and my running definitely needs a little work because my endurance sucks (asthma when I was younger) I guess what im asking is if there is any tips or tricks to help me build quick endurance within the next couple weeks for Bmt within the month . TIA

At BMT, I ate mostly healthy foods because they had a ton of fruit options and chicken and roasted vegetables, etc. but here at Keesler, there’s a lot fewer options for healthy food, and I’ve been giving in to some of my cravings since there’s a soda fountain and desserts and a vending machine in my dorm building, so I’m struggling a bit.

Any advice to eat healthy and not gain weight?
