Is it true that if you every had a case of Sinusitis that you will not get into the military (pass meps)?


Is it true that if you every had a case of Sinusitis (acute) that you will not get into the military (pass meps)? I had to take some flonase for it because of allergies- but this was only for a season and have not had problems since. I really want to get into the military but am worried about it. I was diagnosed with pityriasis rosea years ago too-but i googled it and it is just something that comes and takes care of itself and usually never comes back (a skin rash). And it never has. I am really worried about MEPS. If anyone can give me any advice I would really be grateful.

I have thought about the Army (my brother is an E6)-it's the 15 month deployments that are daunting. By the way I am thinking about the Airforce (I am female, mid twenties, have a bachelors and a masters). I really hope waivers are not hard to get.

Only current acute or chronic sinusitis is disqualifying. Since your skin rash didn't recur it isn't disqualifying.

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningth... a waiver is possible it would be on a case by case bases and if you can get a letter from a doctor saying it has been at least a year with no problems it might help your chances.

im currently enlisted in the navy and right now and i can tell u that most things are waiverable
there are quite a few ppl in the navy with some form of allergies whether it be food, drug, or environmental
ur best bet is to contact a recruiter then they can put u through and see if u qualify for the navy
good luck at MEPS and if u join see u in the fleet

Join the Army. They'll let anyone in.
