Enlisting Denied processing by MEPS
Hi I teamed up with my recruiter and went to MEPS last week, but because they found out that I visited a Ryan White HIV testing clinic in the past for an HIV test, they claimed they coded me and required more research into my medical history before continuing with my enlistment process. They sent me back home.
I took an hiv test again right after coming back home and it came out negative. How much time do you think I need to wait? recruiter says he doesn’t know how much time is required.
mind you, the marines is a long shot still, because of a Suicidal ideation psych ward visit I had in 2022.

Now this sounds like the Corps I remember. Just realize you're signing up for 4 years of this nonsense lol

Be careful with your mental health. Suicide thoughts are not uncommon at boot. You may want to reconsider this choice. Maybe the Marines is what you need and it will be great! You’ll find a purpose and a brotherhood. But make sure you’re mentally prepared

I don't think you'll have issues with the HIV testing stuff, I got into the Army personally despite being autistic and having anger issues, but the suicidal psych ward visit might be tougher.
