Post; Serious joining question experts please answer


I have been diagnosed with depression in the past but it has been over a year since I took medication. Can I still join if I join in January? ...and if I am a former air force spouse can the army have access to my medical records without me knowing? Is it difficult to get a medical waiver for 2 short lived stints on medication in the past 3 years?

I'm joining the marine and my recruiters were giving me a really rough time, but it looks like im gonna go through now but I've been off medication for 3 years. So its not impossible, just remain optimistic and do everything you can, if you are going to tell them about it(I've heard of people who haven't) do it right away.
