Diagnosed Hypertension

Hello all,

I am currently in the process of joining the ANG. I am currently diagnosed with mild hypertension and I do take a daily “starter” dose of blood pressure medication, once per day.

I spoke with 2 recruiters. The first recruiter drop me immediately after I mentioned my diagnosis. The second recruiter said he will work with me, I would just need to get my medical paperwork in order.

However, I wanted to ask since I’m seeing conflicting information online. Will it disqualify me from joining the ANG to have this diagnosis and prescribed medication?

I’ve seen sites saying that it will, other sites stating that it requieres a waver and other sites stating that you can take prescribed medication in BMT and enlist with no issues.

What has been your experiences with joining while having a diagnosis?
