wait so if you meet all of the criteria for the ADHD and asthma you are GURANTEED a waiver(s)? Also should I keep my mouth shut about asthma because I got retested for it when I was 14 at my allergist using the pulmonary function test cause I knew it was a misdiagnosis and they said that I passed and did not have asthma. I ask cause then all id have to worry about is the ADD
I've been thinking about joing the airforce and also letting them help me pay for trade school at the same time so I can retire early, and still be in good physical shape to continue doing what I love which will eventually be a general contractor. Weed has helped me deal with a lot in life, including my moms passing, my eating issues, adhd, insomnia, and the lot. I was scared I wouldn't have the ability to use the one type of medication that has worked better for me than anything else had but now I have a much better feeling about going into the airforce than I did a while ago. I really hope these waivers are still in effect.
Thank you I'm a high schooler with asthma and was told that I could never join the air force but you have just given me hope that maybe they will take me
Can I join if I use to take medications? And if I haven’t been prescribed them in 2 years will it make a difference if I say no I haven’t had any medications
Wow so… if I illegally smoke weed 1 month before joining, (and even possibly get caught by the law) then try to join the Air Force, I can get a waiver and they will accept me?
BUT if I have ADHD and have taken prescribed Adderall (which has helped me be a proven productive, contributing and law abiding U.S. citizen), I CAN NOT get a waiver and will not be able to joined the Air Force?
If I’m right… that’s cooked. Please tell me I’m wrong.
Ive had 3 open heart surgeries at the age of 3 days old 3yrs old and 9months nothing since im 35 now can I still join if my drs say its ok and I have written letters saying im good
I have one misdemeanor charge. It's NOT drug related. I violated probation because I admitted to smoking weed and getting drunk at a party. They placed me in a drug court program instead of throwing me in jail. I completed the program and I am now off probation. Should I be honest about my previous drug use and try to get a waiver? Could MEPS find out about drug court even though it doesn't show up on my state background check? I want to join the Navy. I am scared of getting disqualified.
Does the air Force do a blood test? How do they know you've been off for 15 months? I need my medication but I can function fine without out it for a few weeks to pass bootcamp
I have tricare and have been prescribed antidepressants i was told by a recuiter recently i should be off them for a year and prove im okay off them and i should be okay if i get my doctor to write a letter. And since im on tricare now they said i should disclose this info to avoid very possible repercussions. What do you think
Hi Kyle I have a L5 S1 protruding disc that I might have to get surgery on and I’m trying to join the Air Force would that disqualify me to get in or I can get a waiver for it??
This video pretty much brought me to tears yo. It’s been many years since I been turned away from serving my country because the history of my asthma. And this video just give me a little more hope.
Hi. What are the chances of getting a waiver for OCD if you have never been hospitalized, no substance abuse issues, arrested, and have an amazing educational background?
Can the miltary see if you had a medical marijuana card in the past or is that protected by HIPAA. Should I lie about prior use and take the chance of getting denied a waiver or be straight up

I'm so passionate about joining the Army and going to ROTC to become an officer as a career, but I've had a huge and stressful contemplation ever since I got Seborrheic Dermatitis at 10 years old. It covers my scalp and behind my ears but I really am afraid that it could be misinterpreted as Psoriasis or anything that will disqualify me, heck I don't even know if my current condition hinders me already. I've lived with it and it doesn't hurt nor do I have a need to scratch since I've lived with it for so long but I know I will be devastated to go through MEPS and be rejected on my one true passion of becoming an Enlisted Officer. I've done the ASVAB and I am an IB and Honors student but I want to serve and do what I have a keen passion in, and just because my scalp is pinkish and I have dandruff doesn't mean I don't have the ability to serve my country in an honorable way. I just wish the Army can change that, because MEPS is my only fear and that's the only thing I need to complete to join.
What about vaping lol
if you take the breathing test and pass it what are the chances that the waiver will be accepted, does it have to be accepted?
