I'm trying to get into the Air Force. After sending my medical pre-screen to MEPS, my recruiter called me and told me that it has been sent to the Surgeon General. He said that another recruiter told him it could take a minimum of 45 days before we would get the results back. The only questions answered 'yes' to on the pre-screen were: Perforated ear drum repaired, pyloric stenosis surgery when I was a baby, and inpatient stay at a mental health facility. I think what is holding me back is the inpatient stay. I have never had any mental problems and have never been diagnosed or prescribed medication. I went three times due to my mother and step-father's problems during their divorce. I never actually NEEDED to go. In court, when I was being evaluated to go for the third time, I was already upset and pissed off so when the guy asked if I ever had thoughts about suicide I said 'Yeah, right now because of this crap!' and he wrote it down and that was what was put on my medical records along with 'oppositional defiant' and 'situational depression'. Along with my prescreen I included an 8 page statement as to everything that was going on at the time. What do you guys think the Surgeon General will say? I can add more information if needed, I'm just at work and trying to get this question in as fast as possible.
What are the chances of me being accepted into the military?
