No one can provide you with odds on receiving a medical waiver. Have all of your records together and talk to a recruiter.

Talk to your Recruiter and see what he/she says about getting a waiver. I know many folks in the Service with Asthma. It’s not the automatic disqualification that it used to be. That being said, depending on which branch you go to the process may be longer for some than others.

I wouldn't even mention having asthma if I were you because it will just delay your process or potentially stop you from joining. I know plenty of people who joined and used to have asthma. As long it doesn't bother you anymore keep it zipped I'm just saying because I saw some people get themselves disqualified for good.

So much for living the Army Values, huh PVT? I am pretty sure integrity still exist....
To the OP, be honest, don't build you career on a lie that you have to worry about being thrown back in your face at some point during your career. You have until you are 35 to enlist, you can wait a few months while a waiver is reviewed.
But the absolute best advice, talk to a recruiter.

SSG (Join to see) yea your right about that I was just stating my opinion that's all. I actually had to wait on a waiver to enlist myself so that wasn't very good advice I gave.

I know it is a hassle...took me 12 years to get back in after my medical separation the first time. But it is way better to just be honest. Not to sound like a dick, but there is a reason the Army has medically DQ's, I know I don't want someone on my team that won't be able to do the job went needed.
