Army Spring

Can i join the US Army with bad allergies to pollen?

I have really bad allergies to pollen, every fall and spring im sneezing, have bad headaches and tons of nose bleeds and my eyes really really bother me. Can i still join the Army and try to become a Airborne Ranger?

You do not have an allergy. Keep telling yourself that until you believe it, because you don’t.

If you tell them that at MEPS, they’ll either roll their eyes and keep going, or they’ll DQ you. They’ll tell you it’s because you have an “allergy,” but it’s really because you’re an idiot for telling them.

They only want to know about life threatening allergies. Tell them anything else and you’ll become “one of those” that they laugh about amongst themselves.

EDIT: No, they’re not taking “anyone” right now. They’ve actually tightened up the standards a great deal. The minimum ASVAB score has gone from a 31 to a 50. The maximum age has gone from 42 to 35. And a felony, two misdemeanors, or a misdemeanor and 7 traffic tickets, is an automatic DQ. They’re also writing very few waivers. They have to really want you, for an MOS that’s hard to fill, extremely high ASVAB scores, etc. Prior Service recruits who got in with a moral waiver cannot re-enlist. And PS recruits who got in with a medical waiver have to go before the medical board and fight for their case. With the job market the way it is right now, more people are looking at the military as an option, especially college grads who haven’t been able to find an entry-level job. So the Army gets to be picky, and they’re taking advantage of it.
