Hi, I'm new to these forums so hey! Anyways I had a question that has been concerning me, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome, i was diagnosed when I was about 10. They do not affect my performance at all and I know this because of my grade in school (GPA is above 3.6)(I am a junior in High School), and I have done stuff that is demanding like play football and stuff and the Tourette's or the ADHD doesn't affect me one bit. I was wondering if these conditions would keep me from joining the Marines.

Please Help
-John

It is my understanding (opinion only) that those conditions by themselves wouldn't disqualify you. However, if you are taking medications to alleviate any symptoms, those may delay your enlistment and require a waiver.
