Self-mutilation is a disqualification. If you were to attempt a waiver, you would need a psychiatric consult at MEPS. I don't think you will qualify. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the things we do can have consequences we didn't consider in advance.

Two things:
1 - Learn to spell "Airforce" correctly.
2 - Normally, being a cutter is going to be DQ.

Its impossible for it again up later- they have not got any way of understanding which you knew. diverse everybody is asymptomatic- meaning they have not got any symptoms in any respect so as that they actually don't comprehend. they don't attempt you for Herpes throughout meps- that's the basics- and HIV. they don't disqualify people for having it the two- and no that's not appeared down upon. there are diverse men, women people, sgts, and so on interior the protection stress that have Herpes, and genital warts and it incredibly does not count. The hippa policies nevertheless stick to interior the protection stress- so as that they could't pass tell people your situation whether you have been to attempt advantageous later on interior the protection stress. SO answer on your question, i could shop my mouth close. What does it count? My husband is interior the protection stress and that i comprehend SO diverse people that have herpes, lots had it earlier they got here into the protection stress, lots had it after. in simple terms act such as you probably did not comprehend. My husband and brother are the two interior the air stress and so are approximately ninety% of the people i am going alongside with. sturdy luck in boot camp. Texas is warm as hell!

Do you have alot of scars ?
If you do that might be a problem,
Dont tell them your a former cutter
But if they suspect its cutting scars
then they will DQ you. You can try
to hide them. with camouflage tattoes
Google it. It never hurts to try.
Good Luck
