If I must, and I will, what do I say if I can get in contact with the congressman? and final question; can I just go to another recruiter and ask him to submit the waiver for me or do I just start fresh? Thanks so very much for all the help. I can't explain how much depression you are dampening.
You really honestly have no way of knowing. Did you complete the waiver by writing a statement and signing another form called the 1419? The 1419 is the actual request for the waiver. Ask your recruiter for a copy of the full waiver. He is supposed to have his boss's number (flight chief) posted on the front door or front window of the office.

To get in contact with airforce.com you go there, sign-up to do a live chat, and tell them that you are trying to have a waiver submitted without documentation, and you turned in the forms, and there is nothing else you can obtain from the police/court, and that you need some help.

Writing your Congressman has to be done directly on their website. You can find that info on google. I don't know where you live, so I can't tell who your rep is.

You can TRY to go to another recruiter, but you might be "locked" to your current recruiter.

None of this is guaranteed to get your waiver approved, but it should get it reviewed. I really don't think your waiver is actually getting all the way to the commander. I think your recruiter is guessing that the documentation won't work, and is saying it won't, but isn't submitting the actual documents. I could be wrong, but I've been in this business a long time.

Yes, but he can't take it back now that he told his recruiter, so now he has to get the waiver reviewed or join another branch.

Well when my recruiter says to me "list anything even if you were told never to speak of it or even if it was dismissed," then I think that your statement is a bit flawed? I am always a person to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, no matter the consequences. Kthx

I did sign that form, and when you speak of the flight chief's number are you talking about a phone number? If so, do I ask the flight chief if my waiver has crossed his path? Thanks

You can spin it any way you want but the Judge told you not to mention it, yet you did. You failed to follow a simple order like that and look where its getting you now.
