Long story short, I was in college a while ago and was in a Navy program. It was cut during sequestration and since I was struggling in school, I was one of the folks that got cut out.

All of that back story to get to by question.

When I went to MEPS the first time, I said that id been prescribed medicine for acid reflux in past and that caused a stir.

I went to a gastroenterologist and had test done and he wrote a letter saying that my general practitioner had misdiagnosed me years prior.

Now that I am going through the process of trying to get a guard or reserve slot, I’ll have to go to MEPS again (I last went in 2010) and wanted to know how to handle this?

Do I try to find the letter and just take it with me or just wait until I inevitably get the same reaction I did last time and go through all the paperwork again?

Trying to bump this up. Does anyone know how to handle the situation above?

It's MEPS. Odds are you'll have to go back twice anyways because your paperwork got lost / shredded / eaten by a Marine. While lying might be a little more convenient, I wouldn't put yourself at risk just to save wasting a day.

Haha well lying isn’t an option, I just didn’t know if finding the letter my Dr. wrote last time would be helpful or if they’d even care.

Can't
