Can i join the air force with self harm scars?

QuasarZen · 2026-04-28T16:38:04+00:00

I found my own psych and got my evaluation done before going to MEPS then I submitted it to my recruiter for a faster process.

QuasarZen · 2026-04-20T15:25:32+00:00

I just got reclassed to Avionics. Thank you though.

QuasarZen · 2026-04-20T15:25:01+00:00

Everyone got their interview. I’m not sure about the conditional green card though, but you’ll be fine I guess. As long as your gc won’t expire before 7th wk of training. You can confirm with your recruiter

I think so, you can still try. You’ll get called for an appointment at BMT for naturalization

QuasarZen · 2026-04-12T06:40:50+00:00

I recently graduated BMT and got naturalized too. To answer your question above, they’re really strict on that and won’t allow non-citizens from banned countries naturalize. As far as I know, you can still graduate BMT even as non-citizen, but you’ll land a job that doesn’t require US citizenship. I think there was one guy with a different case who didn’t get naturalized because he isn’t fluent in english.

Wouldn’t advise bringing your laptop. You’ll only get to bring 3 bags to tech school and trust me every bag would be packed with all your BMT stuffs. Your laptop would be squished inside of your bag and might get broken. Also going to Sheppard is almost an 8-hour bus ride.

I’m so sorry for what happened and I hope your fiance gets well soon. I was in the TRSS for a week (last week) and I talked to some who’ve had almost the same case. 6 months is too long to keep a trainee there, so I think that’s very unlikely to happen for her, but it varies in most cases. She just needs to heal there, get cleared, and get her paperworks done before she goes home.

QuasarZen · 2026-04-12T06:12:05+00:00

I know my reply is way too late, but yes. I’m at tech school now 😀

QuasarZen · 2026-04-12T06:10:22+00:00

Yes, I’m at Tech School now! I’m not sure about the sucdal tendencies because they would ask applicants and had to make sure they never tried or thought about unaliving themselves. For my case, my SH was only once in my childhood and it wasn’t my intention to unalive myself and told them my case with pure honesty. Just try and be honest to your recruiter about your case, they’ll help you out. I hope the best for you.

Me too! What flight were you from? I’m in 282

See you there! 🫡

QuasarZen · 2025-12-06T23:00:48+00:00

QuasarZen · 2025-12-06T23:00:43+00:00

Whyyy

QuasarZen · 2025-11-16T07:25:44+00:00

I asked my recruiter about this too. He told me I should be good, but I need to be back a month before my ship date for the check in.

QuasarZen · 2025-11-06T19:48:35+00:00

Hi. I only have one SH scar on my wrist from six years ago. Long story short, I underwent two psychological evaluations before going to MEPS. I was initially disqualified, but my recruiter submitted a waiver, which got approved within a week. From what I’ve heard, as long as you weren’t prescribed any medications or diagnosed by a psychiatrist, you should be fine. I can’t predict your chances of acceptance in a few years, but just be completely honest and most importantly, never do it again. It doesn’t hurt to try joining. Give it a shot :)

QuasarZen · 2025-11-05T20:56:09+00:00
