I've been looking to join the AirForce for a long time now. I've done plenty of research regarding my current situation, so I guess I'm just searching for a shard of hope. So far, I've concluded that the AirForce is one of the hardest of the military branches to get recruited into with the exception of excellent ASVAB scores.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 16 and was on medication for quite a while. The medication would mess with my mind, so I quit taking it quite a few times, but completely quit at 18[just around the time I first joined this site under a different name]. Since I dropped the medication, I haven't had any noticeable seizures being that I only had them in my sleep.
The requirement for joining is that you have to be 5 years seizure free and non-dependent on medication. Another per-requisite is that you have a normal EEG during the medical evaluation step of recruitment. I have yet to contact my doctor concerning my medical records being that they've all retired.
Was just wondering if anyone has any additional information in regards to the situation I'm in, preferably someone with prior experience in failed joining. Any input otherwise is greatly appreciated.
