Nine years ago a went to Basic Training as a very immature kid. I admit I was not even mature for my age. I recieved an Entry Level Performance and Conduct Discharge with a RE Code 3 and Seperation Code JGA. Since that time I recieved a two year college degree got my life in order and have been working for a Level One Trauma Hospital for almost four years. I recieved five letters of Recomendation from Doctors, etc. My lowest ASVAB line score was a 124. I am trying to get into the Army Radiology Specialist or Healthcare Specialist course. I have worked in Anesthesia Support (counting clinicals) for five years. What are my honest chances of my Waiver being approved? I turned in all of my paper work on 2006/06/16.

I want another chance to serve my Country. If I could go back and do it all over I would have toughed it out. I wrote a letter on my behalf also stating that I was immature at the time of enlsitment. I am a much different person now. One of my letters of rec. came from a USAF Flight Surgeon whos rank is Captain. Anybody have any input?

It's hard to really tell. What did your recruiter say? I've seen waivers for worse get approved, so you may have a shot at getting back in.

My Recruiter said he did not see any problems. A funny side story is that when I was emailing USAREC I emailed VP Dick Cheney and put in an email what I wanted to do and that I screwed up before. I got the usual "we ge a million emails we probably wont respond thank you!" The other day I check my mail and I have a letter from the Office of The VP of the US. One of his aides sent me a letter saying that they were forwarding my info to the Dept of Defense to reopen my case and that they (Dick Cheney's office) wanted a copy of the results sent to them. I really want to do this. Not for money, that is not a real problem. But because I know that I can do this and I want to make a difference.

Well, just a bit of un update to my waiver process. My Recruiter called and I have to go in the morning to give them a copy of my HS diploma, they are sending for my college transcripts, and a copy of my SS card. I hope this is a good thing. My waiver packet was submitted a week ago.

What does everyone think? Approved or not?
