Asthma, and the military?

I know some of yall hate these questions, but please bear with me.

I used to have asthma back when I was 9 or so, and I've been getting asthma medication as a precaution until I was 14 or maybe 15. Again, I had no symptoms then I had just got my prescriptions refilled from time to time as a precaution and never used them since I was 9.

My Doctor and the doctor who diagnosed me as a child both say i do not have asthma anymore and no longer need any medication. I'm very physically active and can run 3 miles in about 22 minutes, i swim for my school, and run track.

Now I know the rule is that if you've had it past 13 you need a waiver, and if you had before you just need to prove that you no longer have it. So how hard will it be for me to get a waiver considering what i've told you?

I want to join the marines as an officer through ROTC(or hopefully the Naval Academy), but I would gladly go into the Army if the marines dont let me in and the army does.
 
really if i were you i wouldn't even mention it to anyone.. act like you never had it waivers are going to delay you for quite some time since there are a lot of people enlisting now a days
