Military and Asthma?

You're recruiter is going to tell you to admit nothing. Legally, the USMC has no legal access to your previous medical history. The only medical history they are allowed any kind of knowledge about is what you tell them and what they discover through physical exams, medical exams, and interviews. That being said, if you don't tell them about your asthma, they won't know about it. But, since you already told them you had asthma, the reason you were disqualified in the past, they already know about it. Your recruiter should be able to get you a waiver for having asthma in the past, as long as it is not a current problem or even a recent problem. Speak to your recruiter about it. If your not satisfied with their answer, go up the chain of command. Stress to everyone that you speak to that you no longer have asthma and that you really want to be in the Marines. They will work with you because they need men and women to enlist. Recruiting is not as easy of a job as it sounds like.
