Can i join the navy with very mild asthma?


i have very very mild asthma you may not even call it asthma any more but the last inhaler i had was about three years ago but i want to join the navy i would be able to pass the fitness test with no problems and i reckon i would be able to get some sort of proof from the doctors i believe but would they still take my medical history and sort of right me of

well i can only try hey and wish me look because it looks great and i know people who have a great time can i still wait a few years l then reapply like when i haven't had it for longer would that look better or not

it just depends on you can you run a good distance without using an inhaler. (3-4 miles) Or does mall walking get you winded. Its a judgement call you have to make

You will be allowed into the navy, but don't think that means any branch. There are hundreds of jobs in the navy, I'm sure they have at least one person with them with asthma. But don't expect them to be so easy to let you into a more physically demanding position, like the SEALs. I'm sure there's something you can do, and I would bet something you would be interested in.

Why not , they are letting felons enlist.
I don't know ? After finding this fact that the same govt that gave me crap while in Nam, is now saying go ahead break the law, we need bodies to come back crippled, and to fill this we will dis all past veterans of wars that made people into felons.
Man good luck, Dr D

Asthma after your 13th birthday is disqualifying for entry into the armed forces. The source below is the medical standard for this condition.

if you've had asthma since you turned 13 you cant join the military

not if you have documented evidence past age 13.
