Worried about Asthma

[Winter1945]

So I understand Asthma is a disqualifying factor if its diagnosed 13 or over. I am currently almost 20 and haven't had an asthma attack or had to use the inhaler since I was around 11 or 12 years old even with but a significant amount of exercise but I have not had it cleared with a doctor. Any recommendations and what are the chances of being disqualified?

Do you have any active asthma related prescriptions?

DODI 6130.03 is where you want to look.

Para. 5.10 (page 16 in the PDF)

If your condition meets the conditions for disqualification, then you are looking at a waiver. If it does not, then odds are high you will be clear.

No need to worry-- the restrictions are black and white when it comes to asthma. The only uncertainty is if you go down the waiver route, and even then your odds aren't terrible.

Also to note I have an inhaler but it has not been used or refilled since age 11
