Hello,
I’m currently trying to enlist in the army with a misdiagnosis of Bipolar Disorder 1. I went to a therapist, got an official letter stating it was a misdiagnosis. I do have a past diagnosis of PTSD from 2014 (I was 15 at the time, I’m currently 27) but I didn’t take medications, go to therapy etc. I still haven’t gotten any treatment for it since then and I got a letter from my primary doctor saying that I’m mentally stable.
At the age of 13 I had a self harm incident which required therapy up until age 15. I have multiple letters stating I’m medically, mentally and physically stable for enlistment. I also have my prescription records from the past 5 years clearly showing I haven’t taken any medication.
As of today, I don’t suffer from depression, anxiety, or any mental health issue. Regardless of my mental health past at 13-15 I never got in trouble with the law.

I sent up the letters to MEPS in order to get my waiver approved the other day. What are the chances of the waiver getting approved? I’m dedicated to joining the military in order to change my life. It’s been a battle trying to get all of these letters the past year so I’m hoping it all works out.

Finished my first contract in 2013, now its 13 years later, and I wanted back in.

I was already expecting to go to AIT as a reclass(not a new soldier in the pipeline) but was informed that I would need to reatend basic. Not complaining, in fact, I know it will help me get my body where it needs to be, and relearn all the combat things I forgot.

My curiosity is how will it be like for me? Will I be side by side with fresh trainees, will I be treated as a fresh trainee, or will DIs label me for all to know.

I'm kind of courious hoping I could blend in to the group without being singled out, but Im reading that my "punishments" and activities would be "different" than "an 18-year old new-recruit."

Soo i did my asvab in 2023 with the marine corps but went to the army in 2025 enlisted with them in that year but shiped out 2026 and i got separated for medical reasons and now i have to wait a 6 month period to go back in so the question is my asvab would have to go retake it again?

I am waiting on my prescreening for MEPS to be reviewed, it was submitted on 4 MAY. I was told I had 649 encounters to be reviewed (my husband has been active for 11 years and I have created 3 humans). My question is, how realistic is it that my prescreen review is done in the next week or so?
