Eligibility & processing

Identify the program and the current authorized test. Confirm scheduling, validity periods, and score requirements in controlling guidance.

Use the approved screening and legal review process. Route required records securely and avoid making a determination from a summary or AI conversation.

Use current DoD accession medical standards, service guidance, and USMEPCOM procedures. MEPS and authorized service waiver authorities determine their respective outcomes.

Verify the credential and education category through current recruiting instructions. Route foreign or nontraditional credentials for authorized evaluation when required.

Read the current manual and program-specific requirements. Confirm required evidence, exceptions, and routing before advising that a candidate qualifies.

Determine the correct path and current screening rules. Consult the appropriate specialist and use current forms.

Use the authorized security process. Never upload detailed financial or security records into this hub or public AI.

Identify the exact standard, whether waiver consideration exists, required documentation, and the approval authority. Avoid predicting approval.

Confirm the required prescreen package and service liaison instructions. Resolve missing items before the scheduled visit.

Explain the planned sequence and that it may change. Applicants should provide complete, accurate information through approved channels.

Coordinate each step with authorized personnel. Review actual contract terms and reporting instructions. Officer processing may follow a different sequence.
