Okay, so here is the scoop from Active Duty Navy and one who suffers from life long major depression...

First, the in-processing at MEPS will most certainly rule you "unqualified". The doctors that are processing you before you ship out for boot camp are looking for ANYTHING to keep you out. It's a screening process.

Next, if you were to get in...only by lying about your condition, boot camp in the Army would literally crush you, mentally!! I know! I have been in for 15 years and it SUCKS!!!!!

Let me assure you of one thing...Military life and depression/mental illness DO NOT go well together!!!!

Trust me!
