Re: lying about medical condition at meps

If you have not reported for your ship date there are several ways you can use.

1. See if they will delay the ship date for medical reasons.

2. You can seek to be released from your contract if you have not yet reached your ship date and reported. This must be done through the commander of the recruiting district, NOT through the recruiter.
