Answer 1

If you really have your heart set on serving there are ways that good recuirters can get around certain things. It may mean a little extra paper work before enlisting or at mepps but there is most likey ways to get you in. Medical waviers from two doctors and so fourth. Find a recuiter (at least a sgt or above) and tell him you want to serve for your country and have an attitude that won't take no for an answer. The marines is probably the hardest branch to get into, try the army, then the air force, then the navy, then the marines. 9 to 1 says the army will take you. We really need people right now, and if your that detrimed to serve we'll at least let you try boot.

Answer 2

Do what I did.

Deny everything, serve your 4 years like a good troop, get your honorable discharge and full benefits, and go to college for free.

The PT is slim to none if your Air Force anyway, or a rear echelon type.

The good thing was the Southern hot weather, and the long intensive runs/walks/workouts did WONDERS for my asthma, since i joined the army at 17 (14 years ago) , i never had to use a *breather* again, it actually strengthened my lungs and made me non-asthmatic.

Going from cant run around the football field without my breather in my sock, to 14 K runs / 25 km road marches without any assistance.

Maybe Teddy Roosevelt was right, the outdoors is the perfect remedy to toughen up sickly children.

Unless your a drama queen looking for attention or a WAY out of the military, why say anything?


But dont listen to a guy from military.com, becuase military.com is NOT a legal representative of the US Military.
