I'll try to make my military story brief. I was in army reserve from jan. 2005 to may 2005. When entering I told of my heart murmur. At the time i was told I neeeded a waiver (finding out now that I never really got one cause my physical showed I did not need one) I passed meps and left for basic in jan 2005. I completed basic and two weeks prior to finishing ait I got pneumonia.. I was put on profile and when I was about to come off, I had to take my final ait pt test. Needless to say running two days after getting over pneumonia doesn't work. I was sent back to sick call and told that apparently with my heart condition I was never supposed to get in .. two weeks later I'm home with a dd-214 that says (Uncharacterized discharge) re-entry code of 3 and the code is JFW (failed medical procurement). I am currently trying to re enlist with the army national guard... my recruiter along with everyone else says I got screwed royally. My recruiter just submitted me to physical but they told him my paperwork would have to be sent for a NSM or NGB waiver. (not sure which one it was) I am just wondering what my chances might be of getting in being that NOW I am really going to need a waiver.. but its higher up than meps... also, I got ousted for a civilian police officer postiion in washington dc bec. of my uncharacterzied discharge.... does being in the military for 4 months and completing basic affect my chances of getting back in?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
