[QUOTE="klmno, post: 352878, member: 3699"] I think it depends on the branch of service - I looked at one and some diagnosis's are ok but then others are only ok if they are in the past and the person hasn't been on medications for a certain number of years. As another member here recommended to me about a similar question, call your local recruiter for the branch of service you're interested in and they'll be able to tell you. Also, some things can be bypassed with a waiver if they want the person enough. My son is in high school now and I was concerned about his previous psychiatric issues as well as his juvenile record. The recruiter told me that if my son is really interested, they can get a recruiter involved with him now to tell him what he needs to do the next few years to qualify and apparently, they get the message across in a way that tries to help the kid stay out of trouble, feel good about himself, motivate him/her, etc. [/QUOTE]
