If you can't get through that and apply it then you CAN'T be a Marine.

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.

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:

ADD is overrated. Figment of our imaginations.
