If you have asthma, you cannot join. There is no waiver for asthma.



If your allergies are severe enough that you need an epi-pen if you come into contact with those substances, you may require a waiver, but that type shouldn't be hard to get.



@the guy who said if you have asthma but it's not documented it's ok: No it's not. Asthma in basic can kill someone, especially in the gas chamber. It happens every year. Silly as it sounds, regulations are in place for a reason.

Do you plan on asking until you get the answer you want?



Asthma past the age of 13 is disqualifying. You have a zero percent chance of getting a waiver. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

if you were never diagnosed with asthma by a doctor, and nothing is on your medical record, dont say anything about it. if you run long distances fine and dont have an inhaler, youll be fine. if you were diagnosed, your screwed.
