Replying to Calling all Military men and women (US onry, sorry Canada)
Alright guys, I need some input. I'm extremely interested in joining the Military (leaning towards Air Force) but I have one rather large obstacle in my way. Unfortunately, I have asthma which is a dis-qualification to join any branch and in order to get in needs to be medically waivered. I've been seeing an Asthma physician since I was 8 (still do to this day at 19). So basically I have a few questions that still haven't been 100% answered.
1. Do you know/seen people with Asthma in the Military who got it waivered (seeing Doc past age 13 + Inhaler)
2. If you do get waivered, do they give you an inhaler just in case?
3. Say I do lie about my Asthma, and in Basic I tell the doc's that I need an inhaler -- Is this grounds for getting kicked out?
4. Is there anything to improve my stock? I scored a 76 on the Practice ASVAB and am sure with a little studying I can get mid 80's to 90 on the test.
Thanks in advance.
