Lee,
Let me give you the step-by-step process of how it SHOULD have gone for y'all.

1. EST (practice test) - if qualifying score (50 or above) proceed to step 2.
2. Paperwork to include form 2807-2 and supporting documentation for medical condition(s).
3. Since there are medical condition(s), recruiter should have sent the forms 680, 2807-2 and medical documentation to MEPS doctors.
4. If doctor's were ok with the documentation or would want to see him to evaluate then recruiter would have taken your son to MEPS for ASVAB and physical.
5. ASVAB the night before processing.
6. the morning of processing - applicant goes to medical floor and does his physical. (at this point if the doc's could not make a determination, then they would send your son to a consultation).
7. Consultation would prove 1 of 3 things:
a. fit for duty
b. not fit for duty
c. not sure and must go to medical review board in TN.
8. Medical review board will determine eligibility. Once this is done it is a done deal for medical.

Is this the way things happened for your son?


What I don't get is if your son never got to a physical, then how did they send the documentation up without it?

Lee,
I am sorry to hear about your son's issue with recruiting. My recommendation? Since your son has graduated high school already, have him go to a different Navy recruiter. Is he set on being a CT or IS - otherwise, you might want to see if the SPEC-OPS recruiter/coordinator would be willing to work with y'all.

Lee,
Thanks for the update. "the squeaky wheel gets greased!" I learned this from one of my Chief's when I was "younger!"
