Do they check your civilian medical records at the MEPS station. I have had asthma past the age of 12 but don't use an inhaler anymore and am perfectly capable of doing all the physical training required.

Diagnosed with asthma beyond age 12 is disqualifying, regardless of whether or not you use an inhaler. And yes, they can check your medical records if something makes them suspicious, like an asthma attack at boot camp. This would lead to a discharge for fraudulent enlistment.

Hey, guys. I really want to join the military, but I can't find what branch I want to join. I have researched endlessly, but I still don't know. Here are the basics of what I want to do. I love to be outdoors and active, I love to handle guns of course and learn hand-to-hand combat.

I love to camp outdoors, I love a big challenge and much more. I was thinking of the special forces, but I don't know what branch or anything like that. Please help. You Navy guys would know better. Marines: You just described the Marines, but beware that most of these guys are fanatics in a good way and insanely squared away physically. It's a very big challenge. Army : You just described any combat arms specialty in the Army. Some are more technical than others.

Research those armor, infantry, artillery, military police, special forces and find what's best for you. Air Force : Special ops guys are very, very squared away, more technical but very physical as well.

Security Forces are the military police of the AF, but with less of a combat role although this is slowly changing, I believe.

It's a tough choice, I know, but it's one that you have to research and decide for yourself. If you ask specific questions as opposed to this broad one, you'll have more of a chance of getting an answer.

Can't speak for the other branches, but you can get all of that in the Marine Corps. In the Marines, regardless of MOS, you are going to be trained in combat. A lot of the other branches, I think, do not offer this don't quote me.

Either way, in almost all MOS's in the Marine Corps, you will be carrying your weapon and be out in the field a majority of the time, and the training is good.

The decision is really what you want as well. Could I join with a felony? Many years ago, to be exact, 12, I was with the wrong crowd and got caught up in the bad company of drug-selling, but since then, I have been out of trouble and cleaned up my life.

I took the test and passed a physical, but they asked about my history. I was denied entry due to my drug charge -- intent to distribute. Could my congressional representative write a letter so I could join the military? I was told by an Army SGT that it is possible. Please help me in this matter.

Thank you. No branch will take you with a possession with intent to distribute. Doesn't matter what your age was or how long ago. Good to hear that you have turned your life around, but this is one mistake that the military will not overlook. If I don't want to stay in the Navy, what are good ratings to increase my ability to get a job with either agency?
