The Peace Corps would be good. I am not sure of their about the medication thing, as I have no idea why your taking them, if it is a ligitimate medical need, then I am sure it is not a problem. If you are popping them because you need them in the same way you aspire to go to Las Vegas and do a crap load of drugs, then yeah, I am sure it would be a problem.

The pills are legit. I take around 8 pills a day for things such as Acid Reflux, ADHD, Allergies, and Depression.

I am seriously considering this as well as the Peace Corps. I never actually talked to a recruiter. Can I still go if I have to take pills twice a day?

Actually, I don't know how vbangle got the feeling you talked to a recruiter.  These all looked like very simple questions that a recruiter would have no problem answering (except maybe the getting to choose where you're stationed question).

I agree with Ferris, sean.  There will be far more opportunities in the military.  Not only for advancement, but for work experience, education, and traveling the world.

Just remember that in the military, your primary responsibility is defending the US.  So if a war does break out, there's always the possibility that you'll be sent to fight.  If you're not prepared for that eventuality, then it's probably not a good idea to enlist.  If you're looking for the opportunity to see the world, get an education, and don't mind having to defend the country, it could be the best thing you ever do.

 

I understand that, but I feel like it is worth the risk. I am not my Father. I don't feel content living in one place my whole life.

This may be crazy to say but I think I feel what Luke Skywalker must have felt when he wanted to leave the planet of Tatooine.

My parents have been trying to dissuade me saying I might be DQ'd because I take medication and stuff like that.
