I am currently 15 and on my medical records it says I have asthma but I am almost certain I do not and It does not affect me physically. I would like to join the military. I plan to lose the asthma as I train over the next few years. After I graduate high school I would like to join the marines. After the marines I would like to join special forces. I HAVE to join. Thanks for the help.
My questions are:
Will I be able to lose my asthma in the next three years?
Will I be able to pass the asthma test to join the marines?
Will I be able to join the special forces with a history of asthma?
Will my bad vision affect me joining?
I heard it is better to go to the marines then special forces is this true?
How many years do I have to be in the marines to join special forces?
Do i have to know a second language to join special forces?
Will I be able to receive an education and join special forces as fast as possible?
How do each of the special forces train you?
What kind of work do each special forces do?
Will it be easy for me to get a job with the CIA or NSA after special forces?Asthma marines special forces CIA NSA possible?
I will only answer the asthma part of your question since it is key to the other parts. First of all, asthma does not ';go away';. It goes into a type of remission and many things later in life can cause it to become active. That is why the military is so strict on allowing or not allowing people with it after age 13 to join. The fact that you are okay in your daily life now, has no real bearing on how your body will react during military training in many varying climates and locations. Add to that, you could be stationed/deployed almost anywhere on the planet and you have no way of knowing how your body will react to different environments, climates and conditions. Any stressors such a dust in the desert or mold in the jungle could give your the worst asthma attack ever. In which case your buddies around you will have to stop what they are doing to help you as your life would be in danger as well as compromising their safety as well in saving you. Would that be fair? So, if you truly want to do this, you have to get a clean bill of health and prove that you did not have asthma after age 13, then maybe you can go on with your dream. If not, your dream stops here. Sorry to be blunt, but that's the way it is. That is why the marine commercial says, ';the few';.Asthma marines special forces CIA NSA possible?
Wooooo slow down.
Before you get all into special forces and Cia. I hate to tell you but Asthma is a DQ, I repeat you will not be able to join the Marines let alone any special operations force with Asthma.
Sorry
You can't ';lose'; asthma.
The rule for all the services is if a person has been *treated* for asthma after the age of 13 they are disqualified and require a waiver. If you have used an inhaler or been taken to the hospital after you were 13 you are disqualified from military service and require a waiver. If you have been treated after that time you might still get in. You will have to take a pulmonary function test at a private doctors office then if you pass that you have to take another pulmonary function test at MEPS and *maybe* they will let you in. Maybe not. There's no guarantee you will get in even if you pass both tests.
The Marines doesn't have ';special forces';. The closest they have to an elite special warfare unit is Marine Recon. The requirements to be a Reconnaissance Man are at this link.

The only branch of the military with a type of soldier called ';special forces'; is the Army. If you want to be Army special forces you need to enlist in the infantry and earn it by proving to your unit and your command that you are the best and you deserve it.
If you really want to be trained in a diverse set of combat skills Navy SEALS is the way to go. They have the toughest training. The failure rate for BUD/S (SEAL School) is about 60%. You can enlist with a guaranteed SEAL contract. Unlike the Marines the Navy will take special time and resources to make sure you are as fit as possible to get through BUD/S because they recognize it's so hard. They will give you special work outs and pre-training before and during boot camp because they want more people to pass BUD/S.
Serving in a special warfare group will not make it any easier to join the NSA or CIA. You could serve in the military as an accountant and still join the CIA. You don't even have to join the military if your end goal is to join the CIA or NSA. You could get a job as a police officer or a degree in criminal justice or any language or computer science. You have options.
Question 1. I doubt that you will lose your asthma until you are an adult or maybe never.
2. I doubt it.
3. No.
4. Depends upon how bad your vision is.
First The U.S. Marine Corps. is first to fight. The Special Forces are Army, stationed in Ft. Bragg.
I don麓t believe that the Marines have a Special Forces Group. They can opt for Navy Seal Training.
The Special Forces have a language school.
If accepted by a military branch, you can go to school. Ask your recruiter. You will have to go
through basic training, then through basic training phase 2. Airborne training 82nd or the101. Pass
a secret clearance, then maybe be accepted by the Special Forces.
For the last two, ask your recruiter or wait until you are accepted as a member of the Special
Forces. I am giving you information from 1957 when I was on active duty. May have changed over
the years.
