How many people are accepted into US military? (navy)?

Question

I'ma be a senior and I wanna talk to a navy recruiter about enlisting, but I wanna know how many people are normally accepted? I don't wanna talk to a recruiter that soon because my parents are annoying and if they find out I want to they will get people they knew from the military to talk with me and look up c**p online and print it out for me to read and it's just annoying and I want to avoid it as long as possible.

Also, when I go, should I be open with recruiter about all health conditions I know of? Like when I was little took Zoloft, few months ago was on some anti-anxiety medication (very low dose), minor scoliosis, high cholesterol and therapists my parents made me see? Those are the only problems I have and all of them aren't really big problems that impact me because they're all so minor and don't really get worse so would it be worth it to mention it? I'll probably ask my parents to take me to recruiter's office in two or three weeks or something, after my birthday.

Answer 1

If you go to military.com they have a live recruiter that you can chat with and they are very helpful. They can answer any and all of your questions and your parents dont even have to know. They are only logged on certain times during the week so you would have to check into the times. Good luck!

Answer 2

i think the navy is lenient. they accepted my son's psychotic father and also my idiot of a brother, so you should be alright.  

Answer 3

Any branch of the service will accept those who are qualified to join, IE can pass the ASVAB testing, and as the number varies with people leaving the service when their tour is done. Yes be honest about any conditions you may have, because believe it or not, they can and will find out even if you don't tell them, and then they will not accept you as quickly because you lied or intentionally did not tell them. The military can locate and has access to almost any record out there are you.  

Answer 4

Be totally truthful with the recruiter. The link below is to the medical standards. Study Chapter Two. Your own description suggests some medical history that could disqualify you. There are over 200 conditions which are disqualifying.

In 2005 (the latest data available on line) slightly less than 32% of those who passed the physical for the Navy joined the Navy within a year after their physical.

Answer 5

... well first do you really want to be in the navy?

Its not just because u want to feel danger right because from my point of veiw ur parents sound very..." over protective" i should say

When your in the navy you will have to move around the world you know this right? sometimes you don't have to but thats if ur lucky

... oh and make sure u don't get sea sick especially when theirs storms and your in a boat because... (i get sea sick very easily thats why i am sayin this "p)

when you see your recruiter you should really tell him if ur claustrophobic or anything else such as the things u listed and ask him if he/she thinks being in da navy is right for you, because you might go in and a few months later you might not like it.

And don't tel your parents if u dont want to read all that stuff and anything else they will do.  Maybe ask a friend or aunt uncle grandparent to take you instead and if you really think you want to then tell your parents so u can tell them u also been to the recruiters and you have gone through everything with him/her so they dont have to worry

Answer 6

You can be 100 percent honest....but say goodbye to your chances of getting in.  Many people are accepted as long as you pass medical and asvab.  People don't get accepted due to Asama also people are denied if they were diagnosed with adhd.  I think is possible to get in, but very very difficult.

Answer 7

Don't ask your parents to take you to the recruiter's office like it's your

first day in kindergarten. They will probably undermine your chances

with the recruiter. Find a way to go yourself. As has been said,be 100% open and honest about your past difficulties. I suggest you don't

tell your parents until after you've been accepted. They sound more

than a little overprotective,although I'm sure they act from the best

motives.

Answer 8

Be 100% open and honest with your recruiter.
