While I understood this to be true, I also knew about the ETP waiver you could put in for. None of the recruiters or liaisons at MEPS knew how to put in for one... Today when I went to MEPS the recruiters/liaisons told me I was on my own for getting the waiver from airborne and that I should try "googling it".

- I actually took the Airborne physical at MEPS and passed but the Doc had to put "not qualified" due to me having a waiver

I respect these guys' time so I can understand why none of them want to track down a POC or the correct workflow but I just can't seem to find anything

Any info would be a huge help

At the infantry AIT there should be an SF Liasion that can get you pointed in the right direction.

I can't speak for everyone here but the fact that it sounds like you are making every effort to join SF speaks volumes about you. Being administratively qualified does not make a man a better candidate and getting through the training doesn't mean he has the character to endure.
