So when I graduated from high school I was all set to join the army, and my recruiter told I could get a waiver for clinical depression and ADD, but it turned out that I could only get a waiver for one or the other, not both.
If I apply again, with otherwise excellent qualifications, do I have a shot of getting in? Or am i tottally screwed?
Can I just not tell them this time around? I know a bunch of military guys who said that's what they did and it worked out for them... I'm 100 percent sure they wont interfere with me doing my job as they were diagnosed when I was under 18. I might even be able to get my ADD diagnoses officially reversed (get a doctor to say it was a false diagnoses).
I've only took medication in middle school and high school, if that matters at all, never been hospitalized or anything like that.
For the Air Force, you can often get in AFTER 3 years of NO MEDICATIONS and demonstrated success in school or work, showing you don't need medications. High School transcripts would actually suffice if you were successful and not on medication.
