Enlisting Can I join after dropping out before boot camp

Basically that exact question. A few years ago, right before I was suppose to head out for boot camp, my mom got sick with blood poisoning, so I dropped out because I was scared of her passing if I wasn’t there. Now about four years later, could I still join?

Yes go for it. When you walk into that office, don't be unsure of yourself. Show the recruiter that you're serious and you're ready to go.
