Unless MEPS has changed the rules recently, you cannot enlist due to a proscribed medical condition.

I have read your posts and it seems like you have nothing but ailments to keep you from your "dream". You are seriously worried about diarrhea? Are you fucking kidding me?!?! Suck it the fuck up!
My apologizes Ranger RMP-RLTW and other Rangers for my ignorance of addressing. I'm not worried about the diarrhea, I'm just trying to make sure they let me in without making a big deal of little things such as that.

Listen up sport, these Rangers are telling you like it is. My advice to you is listen to what they're telling you and shut the fuck up! What the hell is the matter with you? I understand that you don't like the answers you're being given but it's time for you to man up and accept reality.

I just posted this in your intro, but it is more appropriate here:

I have asthma too so I know whereof I speak (not diagnosed until after my mil service). An event can be triggered by exercise, stress and pollution - chances are you will not outgrow it, especially in a military environment where open pit burning is only one of the environmental health influences you'll be exposed to.
Consider the other branches if they'll waiver, the Navy and Coast Guard in particular. The USCG has a real job in peacetime as well, and the mission is just as "manly". Professional EMS and law enforcement are other avenues for service.
Lots of options are open to you and you have all sorts of time for mid-course corrections if your first career choice isn't for you.
Now, as we like to say around here "read much -- post little."

Thanks Ranger K.Ingraham, I'll be sure to look into those other options.
