How long does a medical DQ last in the military?

Question

When I was 18 I wanted to join the army, so I signed up. I was a pretty wild teenager, abused drugs, parents sent me to the doc etc. So when I get to MEPS, I told them I took some anti-depressants when I was like 16. I got a medical DQ and waiver was denied. So my question is, I am now 26 and a college graduate and wanting to enlist again. Will this previous DQ permanently bar me from any military service?

Answer 1

They are giving waivers for everything, it really would not hurt to try.
