Waiver

Many medical, legal, dependent, and tattoo issues are waivable; some are not. Common waiverable issues: past asthma, ADHD, surgically corrected conditions, misdemeanors, certain drug history, multiple traffic offenses. Non-waiverable issues include sex offense convictions and domestic violence convictions under the Lautenberg Amendment. The recruiter submits the waiver package with supporting documentation. Approval rates vary by condition, branch, and current recruiting needs. Processing can take days to several months.
