Guest xclozano Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Is sleep walking,and having to take medication for it a qualifier for joining the Air Force ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf424 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) I don't know about it being a qualifier, since I don't. But as far as it being a disqualifier, I believe it is if it is documented and you take meds for it. Hopefuly one of the docs on here can tell you for sure. edit: spelling taught by a state school Edited July 5, 2009 by TheWolf424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xclozano Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Is it a condition that can be waved ? And if Im really desperate, has anyone heard of writing your US senator, the president, and the secy of the air force, to try to get in because of a condition they have ?

Herk Driver Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 has anyone heard of writing your US senator, the president, and the secy of the air force, to try to get in because of a condition they have ?

Toro Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Is it a condition that can be waved ? I suppose you could wave, but that probably won't do much. And if Im really desperate, has anyone heard of writing your US senator, the president, and the secy of the air force, to try to get in because of a condition they have ? Write to the Chief of Staff.

M2 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Is sleep walking,and having to take medication for it a qualifier for joining the Air Force ? OK, how about being a little more specific as to your condition and the medication(s) you are on... I am no doctor, but it is easy to Google and find out that Somnambulism (Sleep Walking) has a number of genetic, environmental, physiologic and associated medical conditions tied to its cause. A vague question--especially concerning a medical condition--will only get you vague answers and rampant speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know the exact name of the condition,but I sleep walk, and occasionally at the same time (so i've been told), have a light seizure (occurs ONLY during sleepwalking). And the medication I take for this,is called Trileptal..one pill before I go to bed.. otherwise,in a conscious state,I'm perfectly normal...

brabus Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 "Rampant Speculation" - Sleep walking + seizure probably means you're screwed. I think you would stand little to no chance of getting a security clearance, plus this is something more than "just a minor condition." Again, speculation, but that's what I'm thinking. Try to talk to a recruiter about it and see if they have any info on what is/is not waiverable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
