I've asked lots of people this question and I always get different responses. I'll try and be as detailed as possible.
I have allergy-induced asthma, which means that when my allergies go off, I have trouble breathing. It's not that I CAN'T breath, its just that I have to breath deeper. I do not use an inhaler, but I do take drugs allegra and mucinex sometimes. They make it easier to breath, but sometimes I'll forget to take them and on those days I can still manage. I have never had an asthma attack.
My recruiter said that asthma past age 13 is an automatic DQ, but since I do not use an inhaler, the Army won't call my condition "asthma" and instead refer to it as "allergies". I should clarify that I have sporadicly used inhalers in the past, but I always hated using them so I quit. I don't think I've used an inhaler since I turned 13, but to be honest its been so long I can't remember. What do you think the chances of me getting in are?
