my blood pressure meds and psychiatric medication? I have no problem dieing gloriously on the field of battle, and frankly I'm getting tired of university life. Any advice?

You likely have a permanent medical disqualifying condition. Being on hypertensive treatments alone is a disqualifier. Next, depending on what type of psychiatric condition, and the length of time you've been taking them, also is likely a permanent disqualifier.
And I won't even begin to get into the weight requirements. Body fat measurement is only necessary if you exceed the height and weight tables, which have different standards for each of the services.
I have linked several articles that you can read at your leisure so you can see where you fit in regarding the issues that you have listed.

Check with your doctor before getting off any medication. I am sure the Armed Forces do not agree on you going off your meds to enter military service.

sure the military will take you, they will take any idiot they can trick nowadays, they dont care if you die on them, as long as you are a body and you can carry a gun that is all that matters. the military is in no way an option for replacing school. Jesus Christ!!
