  1. Military Medical Standards for Enlistment & Commission

    Neurotic, anxiety, mood, somatoform, dissociative, or factitious disorders


  2. No, far too likely you will turn your weapon on yourself or others. You have to pass a psych eval and if you fail you do not get in. Anger issues are the same.

  3. i dont think so.

  4. If you are afflicted with chronic depression, the symptoms will manifest themselves in basic training, long before you get to any training course for military police. And a history of chronic depression is disqualifying for entry into the armed forces. The source below is the medical standard.  

  5. Well depends im in the military now. and it just depends on wat u tell people @ meps lol. they ask a lot of ?s but if u dont want to tell them something u dont have to and well they really cant find out.
