If you can't get through that and apply it then you CAN'T be a Marine.
sorry forgot to capitalize The M in Marine
Your best bet is to contact a recruiter. They know all the current scoop. Good luck.

You'll need to be off the meds for at least one year, and basically have doc say it's OK for you to enlist. Then you'll need a waiver.
Check with a recruiter for the latest scoop.
Is it hard to get a waiver sir?

ed345,
Do a search on this site in the Poolee Forum and Ask A Marine Forum as this question has been asked numerous times before. There is a wealth of information there.
As stated on the meds you have to be drug free for a year and then apply for your waiver.
Even if you were diagnosed or given medicine as a pre-teen you will need documentation from medical personnel and a waiver to MEPS.
Now look it up! The search button is your friend!:evilgrin:
Thanks for your help Marines
ADD is overrated. Figment of our imaginations.
