Update:

I have been talking with my recruiter and we are going to send up a waiver for the army as an 11B. If that gets approved then we will send a waiver up to Airborne school.

My recruiter first said that I cannot get the Rep-63 even if airborne waives me. I asked why and was never given a clear answer. Now he says that I need to get waived as an 11B, then get waived by Airborne, but I will not get SFPC, SFAS etc. on my contract until I graduate OSUT, Airborne, and work with a Liaison in Fort Benning. So I asked if this is still a Rep-63. My recruiter said that it is.

I sense though that this isn't completely true. Everything I have ever read about joining the military always emphasizes getting what your are promised in your contract spelled out before signing.

I have been reading about others getting a waiver by Airborne for things like a past heart murmur and still getting a Rep-63. I am having a difficult time understanding why I cannot receive this contract should I get a waiver by Airborne.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
