<p>Thank you for responding. Is the "waiver" something in writing that we are sent or is it sent to the recruiter?? I read a post somewhere where it said someone's recruiter told the recruit that the waiver had gone through, but in actuality it had not and she got booted out of boot camp because there was no waiver.</p>

<p>My daughter went through something similar. Her issue had to deal with an old food allergy that she still continued to avoid as a teen but had not had any reactions to scenes she was a little girl. WE didn't want to lie either, the recruiter had us go to our MD and get an oral challenge of the food item , get medically cleared before she was in DEP.

<p>My daughter went through something similar. Her issue had to deal with an old food allergy that she still continued to avoid as a teen but had not had any reactions to scenes she was a little girl. WE didn't want to lie either, the recruiter had us go to our MD and get an oral challenge of the food item , get medically cleared before she was in DEP. My daughter lost out on an ROTC scholarship before realized that that was what had caused her to be rejected . Our recruiters were great and really stuck with us through the whole ordeal . My daughter went to BC Aug 25th, and is finally doing what she loves and wanted to do all along . But it was 2 years of dealing with this issue before we could get it everything cleared up. It is not as easy to get into the military as it use to be.</p>

<p>I am not very experienced so maybe someone else like AntiM or lemonelephant will know more but in our case, his recruiter did everything. On my end all I did was coordinate with his surgeon. My son did all his recruitment stuff hundreds of miles away because he was at college. I had to fly him home to have the surgeon provide new x-rays and an updated evaluation. But the recruiter did all the paperwork and then told us when he was cleared and got the waiver. As I said, in our case, my son's…</p>

<p>You absolutely made the right call. We went through a tedious waiver process for an old surgery my son had and I was so grateful because once he was cleared, he didn't have any problems. My son's recruiter was wonderful. Still is actually, he has been following my son's progress and keeps in touch with him and has given great advice.

<p>You absolutely made the right call. We went through a tedious waiver process for an old surgery my son had and I was so grateful because once he was cleared, he didn't have any problems. My son's recruiter was wonderful. Still is actually, he has been following my son's progress and keeps in touch with him and has given great advice. One of the young my son went to BC with was sent home because of childhood asthma. I had been in touch with his mom. They did disclose it to the recruiter who told them he got a waiver (but never showed it to him) but when he got to BC he found out the recruiter had not gotten the waiver. They were devastated. He had not taken any medication for more than 10 years! It is MUCH better to get it all cleared up ahead of time. I am hoping all goes well for your son, the Navy needs young men with his kind of character.</p> Thank you for replying.

<p>Thank you for replying. I am just grateful my son has a conscious and did not want to ship out with this not being revealed. SHAME ON ALL YOU RECRUITERS who do not guide our children correctly - we trusted him - obviously not the right thing to do after reading all the posts.</p>

<p>This is pretty common. Better to wait for the waiver than ship and have them press it during "the moment of truth" when they get to boot camp. </p>
