Can I get a medical wavier?

[arms-circles19]

Okay so in the beginning of January, 2008 I got sent to the ER by my parents insisting I was suicidal. I was at the hospital for about an hour or two and got a psych eval. I currently have a copy of my eval and it states that I was unharmful to myself and others and everything came up normal. including my depression level. I didn't get marked down for any abnormal conditions such as depression, uncooperative, delusional, suicidal or any of that. I did get therapy before and after due to family abuse, which was part of the reason I got sent to the hospital for no one believing me about my abuse. my report states that it was just adolescent issues. I have NEVER been in any trouble illegally. I've always wanted to become a Marines and I'm afraid that this will cause me to get rejected. Does anyone know if there is anyway around this other than lying?

It would be best if you would fill out all of your profile so the Marines here know who they are talking to, or you may not get an answer to your question. And read the rules in the Poolee and Ask A Marine forums also.

I apologize for not filling out my profile completely. I didn't realize I had to. I also apologize for not having amazing English in my last post. I hadn't read the rules and just wanted an answer to my question as my future depends on it. And I need to start applying to colleges if I can't join. I've waited over 4 months to find out exactly what my record and said and I became inpatient. Again I apologize, and hope I didn’t offend anyone.

You didn't offend anyone.
The first part of your question can be best answered by a Recruiter and a Dr at MEPS, and the second part of your question......
Did you ever hear of 'fraudulentenlistment?'

“Any person who—
(1) procures his own enlistment or appointment in the armed forces by knowingly false representation or deliberate concealment as to his qualifications for that enlistment or appointment and receives pay or allowances thereunder; or
(2) procures his own separation (http://www.societyandculture.com/Separation) from the armed forces by knowingly false representation or deliberate concealment as to his eligibility for that separation;
shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Elements.



(1) Fraudulent enlistment or appointment.

(a) That the accused was enlisted or appointed in an armed force;



(b) That the accused knowingly misrepresented or deliberately concealed a certain material fact or facts regarding qualifications of the accused for enlistment or appointment;
(c) That the accused’s enlistment or appointment was obtained or procured by that knowingly false representation or deliberate concealment; and (d) That under this enlistment or appointment that accused received pay or allowances or both.
(2) Fraudulent separation.

(a) That the accused was separated from an armed force;



(b) That the accused knowingly misrepresented or deliberately concealed a certain material fact or facts about the accused’s eligibility for separation; and (c) That the accused’s separation was obtained or procured by that knowingly false representation or deliberate concealment.
Explanation.
(1) In general. A fraudulent enlistment, appointment, or separation is one procured by either a knowingly false representation as to any of the qualifications prescribed by law, regulation, or orders for the specific enlistment, appointment, or separation, or a deliberate concealment as to any of those disqualifications. Matters that may be material to an enlistment, appointment, or separation include any information used by the recruiting, appointing, or separating officer in reaching a decision as to enlistment, appointment, or separation in any particular case, and any information that normally would have been so considered had it been provided to that officer.
(2) Receipt of pay or allowances. A member of the armed forces who enlists or accepts an appointment without being regularly separated from a prior enlistment or appointment should be charged under Article 83 only if that member has received pay or allowances under the fraudulent enlistment or ap pointment. Acceptance of food, clothing, shelter, or transportation from the government constitutes receipt of allowances. However, whatever is furnished the accused while in custody, confinement, arrest, or other restraint pending trial for fraudulent enlistment or appointment is not considered an allowance. The receipt of pay or allowances may be proved by circumstantial evidence.
(3) One offense. One who procures one’s own enlistment, appointment, or separation by several misrepresentations or concealment as to qualifications for the one enlistment, appointment, or separation so procured, commits only one offense under Article 83.
Lesser included offense . Article 80 (http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/mcm/bl80.htm)—attempts
Maximum punishment.
(1) Fraudulent enlistment or appointment. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 2 years. (2) Fraudulent separation. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 5 years.
