I have met this wonderful guy and would never want to jeopardize his career in the Army. I am trying to find out if Herpes will get him kicked out of the Army (just in case) to see if we should even continue our relationship.

im 17 and have genital herpes but no outbreaks. will this DQ me from joining? all posts welcome.

I’m leaving for MEPS next week and my girlfriend gave me genital warts. Does the army test for that and if so is it still possible for me to join.

I have one anal wart and two warts on my penis: when I go to MEPS, are they gonna DQ me or just tell me to wait until it clears? Should I answe yes to the question about genital warts?

I was diagnosed with anal warts by my physician. When I went to MEPS to take my physical to get into the Army I was completely honest on the questionaire about my condition. The military doctor pulled me into his room, asked me a few questions, examined me for a minute and then cleared me for military service. I did not require a waiver, though this doesn’t necessarily mean another person wouldn’t. For me at least, I had a really bad case of anal warts and I was not disqualified. I am now a happily enlisted member of the United States Army.
This is such a relief. There is alot of bogus information out there on the internet regarding this – alot of people who don’t have a clue of what they’re talking about telling people it’s permanently disqualifying and what not. This simply IS NOT TRUE.
Does anyone else have a similar experience with STD’s and the military? Did you receieve alot of bogus information (your recruiter telling you to life for instance)?
