So I've now got an assignment limitation code C2 which means I need a waiver to depoly or PCS outside the CONUS. The Remicade I'm on however does not require a waiver for depolyment, just the condition does. Finally my case is closed and waiver process is complete.

Flying waiver has been approved! Still waiting on any assignment limitation codes.
