Would it be possible for me to join the military?
I was on anti depressants 6 months ago during my divorce from an an active duty member. I reported suicidal thoughts due to the situation if him getting someone else pregnant. I'm 29 and single with no kids and want to better myself. I liked military culture and I'm in shape. I'm not weak. And never had those types of issues until the traumatic situation happened.

Be honest with all concerned and give it a shot. A professional Recruiter with interest will get answers for you. It all depends on your medical history, how it is documented and presented, and the MEPS Dr(s). Good luck.

GO FOR IT... If everyone STOPPED trying to better themselves because of ONE HICCUP during their life that looked "kinda bad", we wouldn't have LEADERS with EMPATHY and common sense within our ranks. Keep going forward until someone throws a toad in the road... and if you're serious, go around the TOAD and keep on keeping on.
