I do not know if the millitary is for me or not. My brother was a Lt.Com in the navy. My uncle Was a Green berret (warrant Officer). My Mother is an Engineer for BAE, MY Godmother's son is a Battalion commander, My grandfather is a recipient of three silver stars. I graduated highschool with a 3.8 gpa, three national honor societies and attained the rank of Eagle scout( first one in the family history). Heres my problem, I have ADHD anbd its impacted me hard with trying college out.My weakest field of knowledge is math and my strongest is in technology ,science and history. I have a certification in digital imaging from high school( tech school during high school) I do not want everything I have done go to waste, Iam horrible at school though. sometimes I fell I am very dumb. Mt dad wants me to look into an ROTC or academy program. Is there room for someone like me there? I have no money and life sucks right now. It is abosolutley impossible for me to do well on the SAT, I have tried.

Okei, if you have a recurring medical condition that requires medication, like asthma, you are disqualified from military sevice.
However, if you aren't on medication, or have been and have been off of it for a year or more and employed at the same place during that year, you can join. I know someone who has been diagnosed with ADD and he's now in the Navy, although he does admits that he self-medicates with caffeine. If you want to take the SAT again, it's possible to get a waiver for the time needed to complete it because of your ADHD, and have a drink with a lot of caffeine in it before you go in to take it (that is, if you're not on meds).
Well, good luck, whatever you choose

first you need to decide if the military is really for you. as to the ADHD we have members in my unit that have it, it can be wavered (or you could lied), if you dont want collage go through an enlistment to see if you like the military and then go green to gold (youll have to go to collage for this, but living in the military may help you with it) also it depends on what branch your looking forward to, i know alot of the jobs in the army are boring, the more "fun" fields are in combat arms but then there is the little porblem of being shot at. (me personally i hate sitting at a desk)
