Hello Rangers!
I will do anything and everything to get option 40!
I have talked to my recruiter but haven't done a prescreen yet.
I have currently been seeing a counselor for depression for 2 months, I have not been diagnosed with any depression but she recommended I get a pysc eval. I know I've had some minor problems but I feel well enough physically, mentally, and emotionally to go through the training. I refuse to take medication but if it turns out I am ok after the eval will I have any problem getting a clearance?
If I don't disclose this info at MEPS will I be in trouble later when they do a background check on me?
Any help or advice wuold be greatly appreciated :)

Do what Ranger Oto-Man says and read the stickies and announcements in the introduction forum before you post. Do more push-ups.

Well, I'm not sure this is still the case, but I think you have to have NOT been seeing the doc for a period of time before you can process for enlistment.
Don't really recall the exact answer. I would talk to a current recruiter about this. Just remember though, you probably will need a phsych eval from the MEPS doctors. Those don't usually end well, or at least didn't when I was recruiting.

Oh that's good to hear I'm glad you got in! I feel a little more confident than I previously was! Thanks Ranger JLTW!!!JLTW!!! wrote:Be honest! I was in a Boy's Home for several years, then lived on my own my senior year in High School. I was completely honest with my recruiter and MEPS and I was able to get in. I disclosed that I had seen psychologists and a child phsychiatrist and had been placed on meds (which I had not been on for the past year). I told him why, and explained where I was in life and what my future goals were, and it was not an issue, other than the fact it delayed me leaving for basic by 2 weeks. Unless you are a complete nutbag, I would think that you have a fair shot at being able to join. If you're always honest, you never have to fear your past coming back to haunt you!
