Good news for texas recruits

[PFCPiatt]

So I found out today that any one with a medical wavier that was approved before they stopped takeing them now have the chance to enlist. This is great news so call your recruiter. I know this to be true because a sgt. major that I know really well happens to be the NCOIC of a few areas in texas.

Is it only for waivers that were approved before the ban or will they also process the waivers that were recieved before the ban as well

[PFCPiatt]

Im not 100% sure but im guessing if it wasnt approved already then they wont process it and approve it untill the ban is lifted futher. CAll your recruiter they will know every detail. Are you in the austin area and whos your recruiter.

He didnt by chance say anything about moral waivers did he?

[austinmike]

I am in Austin,my recruiter is SST Gifford,he is a good guy but he does not seem to be up to date on things. I have recieved information about policy changes two days before he does,I found out about when they suspended medical waivers and contacted him,he said it was just a rumor then he called me a few days later and told me it was true.

I find it the same with the recruiters up here, I keep refering them to the forum, but I guess they dont want to do it. As a matter of fact my recruiter told me once that he gets so many memos that he quit reading them.

You should try my recruiter SSG. Brock Blanton hes the best and is always on top of everything.I live in round rock just north of austin so we arnt to far apart.

I am going to call SST Gifford one more time next week and if he does not seem like he can do anything I will try SST Blanton. I see a surgeon on Monday to schedule the surgery to fix my hearing so if everything goes well I should not even need a waiver. I would just hate to switch recruiters and have to start all over again. I am looking at active first so time is a factor because no one knows how long that will last.

[highlander07]

can someone please explain what active first program is?

[California Major]

Active First basically means that you join the Active Army for 3 years and have your contract with the National Guard already locked in for when you come off Active.
