David asked:
In addition to this I am currently on probation for a class c felony, but, I have an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence), which from my understanding will drop the felony from my record after having successfully completed my probation. Also, I was only recently diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, and if it DOES disqualify me can I simply stop taking meds for it and just kinda deal with it and pretend I dont have it any more, like maybe I am cured or something?? any help would be great thanks.
I will not be done with my probation for probably another 3-5 years, so maybe then they will accept waivers? BTW my felony was a class c felony stealing and it was much under $500… I see conflicting opinions about my issue with social anxiety, the way would see it, the army probably prescribes anti anxiety medication for soldiers that are already enlisted, but thats just an estimated guess. im still not sure that they would accept someone with a pre-existing social anxiety disorder… and if not I would like to know if there is anything that i can do to work around it. ANYTHING at all. I was only diagnosed a couple of months ago… maybe if I get off the meds now the recruiters will take in to account that possibly I was just under some kinda of stress and it was just situational anxiety?…. which it kinda is…
