My boyfried just decided that he wants to join the army. He said he has already talked to the ROTC guy and got set up to join when he gets out of school. He is soon to be 21 and has sever panick disorder, he is medicated for it. Can he really join the army?

There are lots of office jobs. But why would he?
Patrick
probably not a good idea. there is alot of stress in the service
Michelle
If he doesn’t break in basic.
Steven
They will extensively test him and put him under a ton of stress. If he learns to handle it, he will be fine. If not they will dump him.
Antonio
Yes, he can. As long as the medication keeps him under control.
Demond
YES YOU CAN!
Misty
yes he can really join the army, but it would be better on his nerves if he didn’t

He should have disclosed all of that to the ROTC guy too. The answer is no. The military is a very stressful job and having a guy freak out and panic for whatever reason will not work. Especially since he is on meds for it, he will not be accepted into the military. If he lies and does not disclose it he will be kicked out moment one for fraudulent enlistment or if he goes in as an officer the same thing for officers. If he gets any money to go in after school they will take that back too. He needs to find another job to do after college coping and being able to deal with things most normal people couldn’t deal with is a huge part of the military lifestyle.

Most anxiety disorders are a DQ, but not all.

I know certain disorders will keep you from being eligible, I am not sure if this is one of them, I know some people that have lied about certain medical issues to get in

You wouldnt want to. Never make it through training.
naw anxiety is all in the head its how u want to look at it if he feels like he can control it then why not yeah people panic all the time but with the army it will either make u or break u if he finds a way to relax it i think he can
