My Waiver was denied, What could I do to try again?
I had been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in November 2025, and took medication for it for only two weeks. After that I wanted to join the navy, I went back to the same psychologist who for them to say that I was never diagnosed with it. But whenever I had went to MEPS they had said it showed up on my medical record.
After this, my waivers were denied and my recruiter said I should wait a year before trying again. I'm going to do that but I want to prepare ahead of time for my next visit, What documents should I get / bring to make sure I can get in the navy? I had one bad month, I don't think it reflects who I am as a person and I believe I can serve in the navy.
