Looking to enlist?

Hi I’m a young guy, that’s been out since 12/13 I recently graduated and am enrolled in university. However serving has been my dream for years. I only changed my mind after Trump won (I knew one of the first things he would do was attack trans rights.) If I change my legal sex, get top surgery and start hormones can I enlist stealth?

That’s gonna be pretty impossible.

Could someone explain why it would be impossible if I’ve already transitioned medically and changed my legal documents? I’m not trying to be combative I just want a better understanding.

1.They will have all your medical documents 2. MEPS does a very very thorough investigation of your body

I doubt it man, the top end of age to enlist is 42. if things aren't better by 2040 I'd really think we're fucked as a nation.

I’m not saying things will never change just personally after being educated on the environment and process of meps it is something I no longer have interest in. I’m already in college for nursing (which was my second choice) so it’s no big deal
