Howdy

So I was an 18x, got all the way through to selection, decided to reclass for a variety of reasons, and am now an MOS-T a little over halfway through 25S AIT.

That said, I understand there’s a chance I’ll be assigned a unit that could be on jump status. I wish to not jump ever again. I’m a huge dude already in my 30s, I’ve had ACL reconstruction in the past, I’ve had foot-related tendon issues since high school wrestling and lacrosse, and overall have zero interest in ever jumping again. That shit fucked me up pretty good.

Is there a legitimate path I can pursue to not be on jump status anymore whenever I get to wherever I’ll be assigned?

So I’ve been meeting with an off-base psychiatrist regarding my history of depression and anxiety attacks.

She has recommended I re-connect with on-post BH before my next schedule on-post appointment in June to let them know I’ve been seeing on-post help who thinks I should be separated.

She (off post psychiatrist) was very concerned that I used to be prescribed Xanax, Zoloft, etc for depression and anxiety and yet none of that came up at MEPS and I was allowed into the military with no waivers.

Does anyone have any advice for next steps?
