I was told I have to be off them for a year to join the airforce and was wondering if it's the same for all branches. It really pisses me off.

It's not that I'm depressed it's emotions that deal solely with love that affect me. If I can't join the military here I'll do it in another country

NO. all meds must be discontinued BY YOUR PHYSICIAN and be off them for 12 months AND you must function NORMALLY during that time before a waiver will be considered.
Additionally, if you have been Diagnosed with Bi Polar or long term mental illness(treatment not for situational depression or lasting longer than six months) you are Permanently DQd with no waivers authorized.
ALL BRANCHES

For one, do no longer misinform them approximately your scientific or criminal documents, they seem into it once you flow to MEPS and in the event that they locate some thing you probably did no longer checklist till now you're disqualified. You DO could wait one million twelve months after battling anti-depressants or ADHD drugs or something like that because of the fact they could ensure you're on your suggestions set once you enlist and not the medicine suggestions set. the protection rigidity could be very annoying at circumstances and tricky and that they do it to ward off people from going AWAL and/or killing themselves; you sign a freelance and additionally you may fulfill it.

i think that applies to all military service. you really need to be healthy physically & emotionally because you will undergo stressful and months of training. if you really want to be part of the military just wait. remember patience is a virtue :)
