My husband has the flattest feet you have seen and he is in the Marines. I think all you have to do is get a note from a doctor saying you will get Orthodox and they will let you in. He also used to take ridilin(not quite sure how to spell this) that is just something you don't tell them.

If the adhd is under control to some point then yes, i have several friends that have adhd but the flat feet thing is a no. sorry. when i joined in 2003 if you had flat feet you could not pass MEPS. and thats the first place you go before you sign in. its ware you take your physical.

ADHD are allowed to some extent...it all depends on what "medication" you're on, if any. Flat feet I know are allowed, as I'm in the Army, and have Flat feet....just all depends on how bad it is.

amazing, im actually pondering the same question right now. im giving alot of thought to joining the army intelligence but my ADD is giving me second thoughts. im very curious to see how others with ADD are coping in the service. by the way, the answer is you cannot join if you are taking meds for the ADHD. if they see a medical history in the past year or so of using meds, you are disqualified. if you'd like, drop me an email dude. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this matter.
