I`m waiting on a cholestrol waiver for the ANG,been waiting since Feb.I know the Guard is overmaned now and no longer giving felony waivers,but is that being extended to medical waivers too? MEPS said I was a little over 200 but when my Doctor check`d it a week latter it was around 160.My Recruiter figured it`d be no problem with the waiver,but still no word.I was thinking maybe I`d hear something in Oct. for the new fiscal year,but thought I`d ask on this forum in case someone else knew anything.My Recruiter said none of her medical waivers have come back.
this is something i might have to get waivered as well. so far my recruiter said everything is good on my physical with 1's across the board. i have a history of high cholestrol in my family.i've been eating alot of cheerios/oatmeal and laying off the good foods.
i might be in the same boat with you on getting a waiver approved. its just crazy how you have to wait this long for a waiver to get approved
The part that bugs me is i`ve never had a cholestoral problem it`s always been low.The week before MEPS I went on a low carb diet to make sure I made weight.I thought I was a few pounds over,it turns out I was 6 pounds under.I also made tape,I lift weights alot.Maybe that messed up my numbers.
it could also be that bomb breakfast you ate at the hotel the day of meps. i kno i pigged out on sausage,eggs,toast. i had like 10 to 12 sausages, plus the bacon. that grease could of upped your cholestrol that morning. i sure hope im fine, so far my recruiter has said everything is fine.
if i have to give blood again for cholestrol, im going to make sure i fast the night before. no eating for 12 hrs till its time to give blood.
heres hoping that we both are good on the cholestrol man. i just might be in your shoes with getting a waiver.
