Guest walkingtall6 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I have a disease that effects my immune system and I have searched everywhere for information on being able to join the Air Force with this disease but i have found no restrictions. Would this disease affect my chances of joining the Air Force?
Guest Benko Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Unfortunately it seems anything affecting the immune system is disqualifying for entry into the AF. Below are the lines that I think are pertinent to you. A3.33. Systemic. A3.33.1. Current or history of disorders involving the immune mechanism including immunodeficiencies (279) is disqualifying. Presence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or serologic evidence of infection (042) is disqualifying. Positive Enzyme-Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay test(s) for HIV with ambiguous or inconclusive results on Western Blot testing is disqualifying. A3.33.7. Current or history of vasculitis, including, but not limited to polyarteritis nodosa and allied conditions (446.0), arteritis (447.6), Behcet’s (136.1), and Wegner’s granulomatosis (446.4), is disqualifying.
Guest walkingtall6 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 A friend told me that i might be able to join the air national guard, is that true?
Guest walkingtall6 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Could i possibly get a waiver, my disease doesn't slow me down at all.
Toro Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 What's your disease? That may help the docs out some more. Read this for general waiver info.
