This appears to be the correct forum for this.
Details first as briefly as possible. I am enlisting in the Air Force, I scored high on the ASVAB, high 90s. Which I hope helps my odds with this.
I had a Medical Waiver already approved for another medical condition but in that time period I found out I had a sebaceous cyst on the left side of my neck (back of the neck specifically). Now, I had to find out because it causes no pain and does not impede my range of motion.
And a sebaceous cyst is not automatically disqualifying, only if they think it will stop me from doing my job.
So I was hoping experienced forum members could help me out with what I will be expecting from the MEPS doctors to determine if this cyst makes me unfit for service and/or what my odds seem to be based on what I have said about the cyst.
I realize this is kinda vague and may seem a little weird, so I'd be happy to provide more information upon request.
I've been in this process for a long while now so I'm pretty dead set on seeing it through, and naturally it aggravates me to think I could be disqualified for a condition I developed waiting for a medical waiver.
To wrap this up; any advice or insight someone finds relevant would be appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Note: Seeing my recruiter tomorrow when he gets back in town, showing him then.
