Can one of you enlistment experts help me with interpretation of DOD Instruction 6130.03 ? If a condition is simply stated without specifically stating "currently" or "history of" which way do they mean that? What I'm looking at is the rules for high cholesterol. Here's the section from the regulation.
"n. Dyslipidemia with low-density lipoprotein greater than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or triglycerides greater than 400 mg/dL. Dyslipidemia requiring more than one medication or low-density lipoprotein greater than 190 mg/dL on therapy. All those on medical management must have demonstrated no medication side effects (e.g., myositis, myalgias, or transaminitis) for a period of 6 months."
When they did the fasting blood work on the way to ETS my cholesterol was high. So my question is if this will cause an issue when I try to get back in? Especially if I show up with my cholesterol now within the limits?

SPC Cathy Goessman - Can your medical history show a history of high cholesterol? Or is your cholesterol currently high? That is what that means. If your cholesterol is currently high, and/or medical history shows a continuous high level of cholesterol, the Military Service can then deny you entry into the service. If it is a one-off, then it's usually no problem but that is up to the medical professional.

Thanks. I did tell the doctor that I had high cholesterol as a teen as well. But I was also an overweight teen who ate unhealthy stuff. Guess it will just come down to the doctor's decision.
