I am 23 when i was 14 i tried to commit suicide at the time i was being sexually abused by the one person i thought cared about me my mother dispised her children because she was only a child when she had them i never felt like anyone really cared about me so i attempted suicide i think i did it more as a cry for attetion than anything else i just wanted someone to care so thats what happened i have never had another thought of suicide since then i graduated highschool and college all on my own while working two full time jobs i am engaged to be married in august i have a real family now but i want to join the airforce and when i told my recuriter about my attempt he told me they will DQ me no matter what and i should stop trying to get in but i think if MEPS does psych eval. than they will determine that i am alright and i am just wondering if anyone has ever gotten in after an attempt and if the recruiter still refuses to help me if there is anything or anyone else i can go to

attempted suicide is a Permant Disqualifier with zero chance ever of a waiver.

in case you tell them you mustn't be waiting to connect any branch of the U. S. protection rigidity. The question would be asked on distinctive the types you will fill out and sign. scientific records are unlike offender records. they're basically released along with your permission. there is no "gadget" the place scientific records are saved. There are federal rules dealing with this, in addition they shop on with to the protection rigidity. This different than offender history tests the place the protection rigidity has extra authority than the universal inhabitants. whilst quickly as I did history tests i could not get scientific records without a signed launch from the applicant. Even then the launch became into very particular. there is no way an investigator ought to be certain. Now if an investigator interviewed somebody who stated it then there must be a controversy.

I know you're changed and all by the sounds of things. But it's the fact that you have shown you have depressive tendencies - not good if you're gonna be in a warzone for 15 months. So please try to see that side of things. A guy turned on his battalion in Iraq and had to be sent home and was later discharged. Have you tried to talk online with an AirForce recruiter? that way it's anonymous instead of face to face. Maybe if you can prove you're 'stable' with evaluation and take it in to them they will accept, but I really feel for you if they don't. You seem like you've come a really long way, and are prepared to serve the country. The thing is, if they let one person in with a past history like that, others might come along and say but how come he/she got in and I didn't? etc.

A suicide attempt will be an automatic DQ...especially in the Air Force where they can afford to be more restrictive. They wont give someone that has past suicide problems a weapon.

From your POV that might look unjustified.
But from theirs it's not. The bigger the "gun"
you get, the more they dig into your past.
And the Airforce can still pick who they
take and who not. With a problem like that
your chances of flying are ZERO.

Have you considered going to another USAF recruiter and employing a personal "don't ask-don't tell" policy?
