I really don't know how to feel about this. I mean, it's another shot at my dream, yet somehow I don't feel real optimistic. Yeah it might work, but that's what they said when we tried for a waiver in the normal Army. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. He said it would go through different people and that the change in medical standards meant it had a better chance of going through, but I just don't want to jinx myself by being optimistic.
Plus, I might have said something else that might come back to bite me in the butt. The recruiter asked if I had ever been to any kind of hospital for my GAD and I said yes. The reason I said yes was because when I was at MEPS for my Army physical, I was reading through the medical record I had with me and it mentioned my stay at a hospital. When the waiver was denied, it didn't say a word about the hospital, only that the medication I had taken was unwaiverable. My dad doesn't think they'll get much on my stay, and I didn't tell them what I was there for, so hopefully it won't bite me in the butt.
It's all in God's hands now. I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
