I have recently decided to apply to OCS but am concerned to talk with a recruiter. I have read A LOT of the information on here and tapped all of my personal resources and can't seem to get a clear answer about what to say/what not to say to a recruiter (specifically regarding my medical history)
my concern is that I will disqualify myself. my vision is good, I'm in great shape but I was in a bad car wreck in high school that included follow up surgeries for the next 4 years. 100% recovered but my medical records are thick as books and string across a bunch of different hospitals. On top of that my doc was quick to prescribe adderall when he thought I had ADD in college which seemed like a good idea at the time but now I'm realizing ADD is a 'nervous disorder' basically rules out any chance at getting an SNA spot.
I don't want to lie to a recruiter but I know that I am healthy enough to fly and don't want my past holding me down. I've started studying for the ASTB and am not worried about that but I want to make my application as competitive as possible and without a recruiter and limited personal resources I'm feeling a little alone and uneducated here....
any help?
thanks in advance
