OK here is the deal the waiver is for a criminal check. Im in touch w/his recruiter so I know whats going on. He keeps putting me off as well. I've called 3x 2day and eachtime he said.. Now is not good for me. His recruiter promised he get in like last month. Thats just an update 4 u guys.
My Fiance is trying to get into the ARMY and his recruiter keeps giving him the run around. He took his ASVAB the real one and scored 73 took the Physical and passed. He did that this month and started trying to get in in the early part of May end of April. His recruiter said he needed a waiver and sent in for one in the begining of June he still says he hasnt gotten it all cleared yet even though my Fiance had a meeting with his reruiter's commander. What can we do this will be really good for him. Plus it shows me that he cares about something and wants to succed. I would join however I have back and ankle problems on top of my Asthma. :(.... Any suggestions? For him getting in the Army sooner?

To get a waiver for any reason takes time. 4 months is not a long time. It took about 7-8 months for my son to get a medical waiver (he had surgery on his knee).
With this waiver being for a criminal check, they have to be double sure. You didn't say what his background was and that is irrelevant. What is relevant is the charge. Was it a misdemeanor? For what . All of those things come into play when the decision is being made.
Remember they are making decisions that affect the other recruits lives also. They will have to judge if it would be detrimental to the other guys in the troops. If they knowingly take someone with a criminal background they will be liable if anything happens.
I am not trying to imply that your fiance has done anything terrible or that he has not changed. I am simply trying to get you to see what is going on behind the scenes.
I would encourage you to not lose heart though. His recruiter apparently liked what he saw in your fiance or he would not have asked for the waiver in the first place.
Perhaps you are bugging the recruiting officer too much. Try backing off. Leave the officer alone.
Your fiance should do his own calling (not more than 1 time a week).. It will show HE is interested in joining. Have him just touch base to see if anything new has developed.
Hang in there, both of you. Give it time.

I can't give you any recommendations, but I have to say, with the shortage of soldiers, I'm completely stunned that his recruiter won't approve him.
Actually, no matter how many soldiers we have, if someone wants to join, they should be able to, not given the runaround.
