present help: Has anyone joined the military with a few medical conditions that no longer affected them in the present? - Help.com

Yes. I tested positive for TB. I took the medicine for 6 or 9 months and then I was able to join. What are the medical issue? I could ask my boyfriend. He knows a lot about this stuff.

Just call a recruiter. These guys sit around all day watching TV just waiting for anyone with a question to call. So call!

If you tell a military doctor that you EVER wet the bed, you’ll be medically disqualified.

If you tell a military doctor that you ever wheezed or thought you had asthma, you will be medically disqualified.

If you tell a military doctor you ever did anything other than sneeze, you will be medically disqualified.

If you want to join the military, you should keep your mouth shut and not volunteer any information.

Sounds correct.

They aren’t the one’s who decide whether a person is disqualified or not.

What is TB?

Tuberculosis. They give you a shot and if the red circle around where they injected is a certain diameter then its a positive test. I will always test positive with the needle test so I have to take chest x-rays to make sure the TB is still dormant.

Oh okay. Good thing that it is dormant,which branch?

The fastest way to get into the military is not to tell anyone any of your medical history and let them check you instead.
