If you still have asthma you will be DQ'd. I wouldn't lie to the recruiter, because if you do get in and they find out they can fine you and discharge you. As far as the scoliosis is concerned if it is past a certain degree it is disqualifying.

Well, when I came in, I was at first rejected and had to get a wavier for flat feet. There is an old saying in the Air Force, "There is a wavier for everything"
However, at this time, the Air Force is cutting manpower and looking for any reason to get rid of people. So, the chances are not good for getting a wavier.
I'm sorry, but I don't think they'll let you in. But you can always ask the recruiter.
Your odds may be better in the Army, their so desperate for bodies, they'll take you as long as you're breathing.

you wont get waivers for all of that. You MAY be able to get a waiver for the scoliosis and you could lie about the asthma....but when you go to basic and have to pass a physical fitness test and cant run the mile and a half they will boot you out on the grounds of a fraudulent enlistment which is dishonorable so i wouldnt chance it.thank you for wanting to try though

wager what? the comparable desirable element is going to chew you while it comes time to observe for a scientific license. all and sundry considers MJ as a entertainment drug. yet even the protection tension considers 3 or greater circumstances as continual use that's a disqualifier. And ANY use of harder drugs (i.e. ecstasy, coke, heroin, crack, and so on) is an eternal disqualifer. you do not "recreationally' use those. comparable desirable reason the DEA would be hesitant approximately giving you a license to deal with and prescribe narcotics once you grow to be a physician.

I would doubt they would take you with the combination fo scoliosis and asthma. You will be doing a lot of physical exercise, especially in basic, and they can't provide waivers for that.

Asthma past age 13 is disqualifying for enlistment or appointment in all branches of the armed forces.

You need a medical condition to join the military, or should I write mental condition.
