Aspiring AIRR

With that being said, if my waiver gets approved and I'm in DEP, then there shouldn't be a problem for the same waiver to get approved through NOMI, correct? I've already accepted the fact that things take their time more than I'd like, but if it takes more time, I guess more time to train right? haha. That's what I've taken out of this whole enlistment process up to this point, which I guess isn't so bad in the scheme of all things (2 waiting months so far).

It depends on what the waiver is for... but generally, yes, it'll get approved. Some things are Navy-accepted, but not flight status accepted though.

We had a handful of AIRR guys stay behind after graduation for a few months, all but one eventually had their waivers approved, the one that didn't ask to be separated and he was.

It's a waiver for a "wet reckless" I got in July 2013 (lesser charge than a DUI in my state) but it still counts as a misdemeanor. I've been looking into anything that could disqualify me from an aircrew rate when it comes to waivers in that area and all I've seen that comes close are misdemeanors involving drugs and/or marijuana although it even says that some cases are taken case by case when it comes to marijuana, which is not my case anyways.

You'll probably need a Special Programs waiver through the CO of MEPS... but that's non-medical so once you join, you'll be fine. THU and NOMI waivers are for medical issues, even if waived by BUMED at MEPS.

So speaking of medical waivers, then my medical waiver for my right femur fracture back in 1995, which was approved, would have to be approved again through NOMI?

Most likely, yes.
