May 4th, 2010
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…

You need the meds for your anxiety. Anyway, the army prescribe huge amounts of meds for anti-anxiety as well as anti-depression, so that alone will not be an issue. Have a chat with a recruitment officer – he or she will let you know if you do not qualify to at least apply.

as of 2005, having SA disqualifies one from joining the military:
Current or history of anxiety disorders (anxiety (300.01) or panic (300.2)), agoraphobia (300.21), social phobia (300.23), simple phobias (300.29), obsessive-compulsive (300.3), other acute reactions to stress and post traumatic stress disorder (309.81) are disqualifying.
on top of that you will need a waiver for the felony…

You have to wait until you successfully complete your probation, and your charge is dispositioned as a misdemeanor. When you are on probation, you are not allowed to possess, handle or use weapons. You are forbidden from interstate travel. All of these are necessary for military service. The medical things may be an issue. Really, they are clinical myths used to medicate naturally occurring human conditions. Since they are now on your medical records, though the Army, may have access to the information. They may see it as a possible psych red flag.
