I too have a question regarding psychological waivers.
I found this thread by chance and want to become a groundpounder in the USMC.
Only problem is that I have had OCD since I was 9. I am now 21 and 2 months shy of being completely off meds. My doctors think that I have been cured of my OCD and will issue letters stating such. The symptoms of my OCD started to go away towards the end of my teens, so it is very possible that I merely had a case of adolescent OCD (and may get re evaluated to see if that is the case).
Here is the interesting part, all of the recruiters I have talked to have told me that right now it would be hopeless for me to join. No waivers will be approved due to the rough economy and all the enlistees that do not require waivers. They advised me to wait a few years, and I have decided that waiting 5 years off meds would be a good plan, as it would show that I can function normally without them.
My hope is that I will be temporary disqualified with waiver recommended. Then when I get all the paperwork sent up to BUMED, the doctors who see it will think "Well he WAS on meds for 12 years, but has been off for over 5 and has two doctors stating that the majority of problems affected him during adolescence."
I saw that it can be waivered for pilots who got it when they were in the military, but what about new enlistees? Do I have any shot at all?
ETA: I realize that this is an aviation forum and I want to be a groundpounder, but I bet that there are some people that are overly qualified to answer.
