I know someone who was on a medication (for seizures) that is also used for treating bi-polar disorder. It only took a letter and in he went. Moreover, as it turns out people on the meds for bi-polar were getting in. I suppose it all depends on what job your are going to be doing.
I know someone who was bipolar who did not get in.
Hmmm I thought you couldn't get in if you were on maintenance medications of any kind.
"I know someone who was on a medication (for seizures)"
As a former recruiter for the US Marines, The someone you knew was frauded in. ANY history of seizures is a non-waiverable ailment. There are a lot of recruiters out there who will do, say or hide anything to make quota.
I've even seen some go so far as to "grant" fake waivers to a kid and tell'em they don't have to say anything to the processing doctors.
All these types of recruiters do, is put other servicemen in danger to make a number. How would you like to be on patrol with a guy who goes into a seziure?
There are reasons for standards, they save lives and give us the greatest military in the world.
