[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understood that it was an IEP after age 14, as well as a 504. And meds would be a disqualifier. Waivers are not necessarily granted.

My DS wanted to explore the option of joining the Navy as an officer but he's a HS freshman with an IEP and dyslexia. He opted to not drop his IEP and has taken military service off the table. [/quote]

He shouldn't give up on his dreams , yet. Apply for a waiver. Especially, if he is not on any meds. Considering what MEPS will ask for, [b]there's a chance he might still be able to enlist. I think he should still talk to a recruiter.[/b] [/quote]

PP's kid doesn't want to enlist, he wants to be an officer.    The recruiters for enlisted personnel are different than the ones for officers.[/quote]

+1 and the standards/medical clearance process is different (I didn’t go to MEPS but rather a separate pre-commissioning physical at a military treatment facility when I had my pre-commissioning physical).

With that said, the military as a whole is in a recruiting crisis. You never know what might be waiverable at any given time. Don’t give up hope automatically if that is what your son wants to do. He should still talk to a recruiter once he has a college degree (or is close to completing one). [/quote]
