Get documentation and get a waiver. It does take a while... not as long as you'll hate life for reenlisting after ten years, though. I personally didn't lie about anything for mine. I was going for a job that required a TS so I didn't want to have any discrepancies with my history of anxiety and seeing a psychologist. I saw one on and off for years until I was almost 19. I also didn't lie about being allergic to cats, having had asthma as a kid, and getting ingrown toenails sometimes. I ended up getting two pulmonary function tests done (the one wasn't enough they said), pulled a record for a skin test for the allergies I had done when I was 11 (an actual archived file at the hospital, loads of fun to get), had to schedule with and see a podiatrist who wrote a letter saying my toenails were fine, and then resubmitted all of it with a letter of recommendation from my psychologist saying I was fine, issues were treated and resolved etc. MEPs countered with demanding session notes from the psychologist, he had stopped practicing, his notes were long destroyed, and even on top of that I was a minor for a vast majority of the sessions (ie requires a court order to release). Resubmitted the same documentation and requested a waiver, and received one a few months later for history of anxiety. It took like eight months, but I sure did enlist, boy oh boy yes I did and let me tell you,

I would do the documentation and get a waiver, but i dont think there is one for arthritis, i've read it's an automatic disqualification, even though it seems to be gone. I thought asthma was disqualifying, isnt it? But you got a waiver for it?

If you DO have something or a history of something, you have to prove via documentation that it's not going to affect your ability to serve. Like your brain damage for wanting to reenlist after 10 years stop it

quote:I will enthusiastically participate in this suicide attempt. I just spent way too long in DC traffic, and I want to spread some misery around. Also, the idiots thread always needs content. The medical section of MEPS is staffed by some volunteer retired MDs, 5 or 6 med techs, and an NCIOC who's job is pretty much to walk around in a uniform. They might, just might, give enough of a poo poo to look up your "friend's" military and VA medical record. If your "friend" has that info in there, your "friend's" recruiter will spend some quality time yelling at your "friend" before getting started on the waiver. If it's not in those records, MEPS won't catch it. The only other way they could is if your "friend" picks up a pen and yells OW OW OW THAT poo poo loving HURTS. Or doesn't pass the hand squeeze test or other part of the physical exam. For maximum comedy your "friend" should hold it in, but wince holding up their hand for the swearing in ceremony. The real fun is training and active duty. Your "friend" might run into a real doctor who takes one look at that x-ray and realizes there's no loving way that hand got the way it is over night. Of course, that might not happen until someone wonders why your "friend" has been on vitamin M for 4 years straight. Or your "friend" might not qualify at the rifle range because they can't hit the broad side of barn anymore. Your "friend" should apply to special forces. They love to brag about their washout rate. Your "friend" will puff that up. That's all personal consequences though. The real winner is if your "friend" manages to kill someone because they can't keep a grip like they should. Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. Get blazed as gently caress the day before MEPS. I hear that's really good for arthritis. So you'll be sure to pass then.

Yeah, if you hide a medical condition and that leads to guys having to pick up your slack in combat, gently caress you, I hope your mom gets a folded flag.

If you're thinking about re-enlisting a decade out, you need to see a VA mental health provider. Especially under the small thumbs of Trump. Just use your post-9/11 GI bill and lay pipe in freshmen.

Goddamn I can't even imagine how bad my life would have to be to voluntarily go back in (jokes on me they wouldn't take me anyway). But in the spirit of the OP I just got this little gem that someone told me when filling out MEPS questionnaires: YES means Your Enlistment Stops. NO means New Opportunities!

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers sent. Aside from my possible brain damage, all I need to know is if someone in MEPS can or will access civilian medical or insurance records? There's nothing in my military medical records and no physical signs or pain that would be seen in an exam, so I don't have to fake my way through that.

MaximusCraptaculous posted:Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers sent. No they wont. Do you think they have the time and effort to track down every recruits medical records and then review them? They screen you at MEPS to see that you pass the minimum required to join the military. That said I LOVE COCK SALAD posted:Yeah, if you hide a medical condition and that leads to guys having to pick up your slack in combat, gently caress you, I hope your mom gets a folded flag. EDIT: also what was your 'friends' rate/mos whatever, and is that what they will be trying to get when they go back? Friend sounds stupid and I want to know just how right I am.

At least go into something nowhere near combat arms. Maybe a supply clerk. If you're gonna go back, at least pick a lazy mos.

I was on the fence about this anyways, but I think I'm convinced not to try it, it's not worth it. I've got it good now, and having been out so long it seems like it was a good time back then but in reality it sucked and would probably suck even harder being older now and having to put up with all the bs. Thanks goons!
