Joining up with ADD....

[Easy-8]

I have ADD how hard is it to get a waiver?

 

[A Can of Man]

Wouldn't your recruiter know?

 

[SigJohnson]

I had no trouble when I joined over here, I was just honest and I was told to be off my medication 3 months before basic.
That was 10 years ago, and been fine since.

It depends on the severity of it and if your on medication. Talk to a recruiter.

 

[KJ]

They´ll beat the ADD out of you during basic no worries.
The medication might not be good to go though..

 

[major liability]

It's a shame they don't let you use the medication, that stuff helps even people without ADD focus and think more clearly.

And if you don't have ADD meds on hand and you still have work to do? Then what?
No, they'll take a guy who doesn't have to take any ADD medication.
