The Surgeon General’s Office of the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) is revitalizing the medical waiver adjudication process from the top down. The office recently tested a new process where wing commanders have the authority to allow members to continue serving, in a full or limited range, while his or her waiver is being adjudicated at headquarters. The commander will review the member’s records and make the decision in conjunction with a local medical provider’s recommendation. Tests are being completed and evaluated and will be discussed by AFRC leadership as to whether the process should be rolled out command wide or if more information is needed.
