Anybody who tells you different is talking out of their butt.

You can come out with a degree in 2-3 years and start a technical job where you can earn way more than you ever will in the army.

Just think about it. The army sounds like an easy way to earn some cash and do something with your life, but there are WAY more better options.

i dont really know of many people that went to community college that make more than me. especially after benefits, tdys, family sep, housing, bas, and being smart enough to make rank. oh yeah and the fact that you can go to college for free. do well on the asvab and pick the right job and you might not even get deployed.

Are you kidding? I know guys that did tons of shrooms and weed the night before they enlisted and were accepted with no problems. You'll be fine. All they require is a pulse.

I was on Effexxor XR for a year before enlisting. When they ask you just say no. They won't even look, trust me. Any serious questions message me if not you got good information in this thread.

You should be alright. Just use the magic word at MEPS. "No"

I was only on the crap for less then three months. I got cleared by a counselor after the school "recommended " I see one. She said it was normal grieving/I was very opinionated. So now here I am a few years later and talk about a fucking buzz kill once I heard this. I have wanted to be in the airforce or army since I was 9. So my question is am I screwed? Should I just lie say I forgot all about it if the find out I guess worst come the worst I gotta go to collage
Thank for the help


p.s. Didn't feel like making an account on the army website so just decided to post on sherdog

You will most likely get a waiver until your doctor can give you a little note saying you are no longer in need of pharmacological assistance.

happened to me when I went for 18x. Got a waiver and had to wait for a second eval at meps.
During that time I decided not to enlist for SF, but to go through OCS, AB, ROP, and RANGER..
Better decision all around...
