You didn't mention how old you are now but since you're asking about joining the military, I'll assume you're at least 18.
Childhood bed wetting will not disqualify you for the military if it hasn't happened in some years. You shouldn't need a waiver if it's not a current problem.
If you say you don't wet the bed but still do, it'll be found out in basic and you may be subject to an entry level discharge.
Ask a recruiter or look for information on this subject on the net. I'm sure you'll find better info than you'll get from the number of wannabes and posers on YA.

Obviously don't admit to anything ever having been wrong with you. If they know about something then you have to go get med records to show what it was & that it isn't a problem anymore. If you've already mentioned it & it's documented thru meps, then you need a waiver. Just talk to your recruiter about that, you'll be fine. Personally, I wouldn't admit to something so embarrassing anyway.

Enuresis past age 13 is disqualifying for entry into the armed forces. There are no waivers.

It shouldnt no, People may actually laugh at this matter, but males are more prone to wet the bed than females because you play harder as a child and do alot more.. my son is 6 and we thought at 1st he was lazy , then I thought because I was gone (BCT &ait) and my husband was gone(deployed) till we took him to the Doc ,
Nothing to be ashamed about.. now if you were a sleep walker id be concern.
Good luck,

Is it in your medical records? If not then don't mention it. If it's in the records then talk to a recruiter about it.

If it's not a problem now, just "keep your mouth shut" and it won't matter.
