I have Klinefelter's syndrome, can i get recruited into the Air Guard?

I have Klinefelter's Syndrome, and been wanting to join a branch of the military, is it possible for me to make it in, i do have a lack of strenght, and am much slower than other men both psychological and physical. would this hold me back? (as for taking testosterone shots, i am too old for that, i also had decided against the treatment, so that's a no go now that i am 26, i decided against because of the side effects it could've caused)

    More than likely, no. Sorry... but everyone has to pass the same standards for physical strength and endurance. Also, you would still be required to take the ASVAB and obtain minimum scores. And, throughout your training and career you will be tested over and over to proceed in your career. These tests are timed, and there are no accommodations made for those who are differently-abled.
