I need waivers for things like childhood asthma (no problems anymore and willing to do a pulmonary function test to prove so), low Von Willebrand factor, and flat feet (with no problems or corrections needed). I have a friend who just got in with the Air Force and she has had plates and screws in her leg and she didn't need a waiver. I've spoken to the Air Force and Army so far, but more extensively with the Air Force.

I am set on joining the military upon graduation with my BSN, or attempting for the HPSP after obtaining my BSN. Either way, military is where I want to be - particularly Air Force or Army, but Im not against any branch - I just want to serve. My my question is though, I definitely will require one waiver, maybe a couple of others, but how many medical waivers are allowed? I haven't really gotten a clear answer from anyone on this and I'm trying to have all of my ducks in a row and all necessary paperwork in had before going in to be evaluated so I can have higher chances of obtaining a waiver or maybe getting off without one. I could need up to 3 waivers. Sounds like a lot to me, could I get DQ'd for number of waivers if all were granted? Does anyone - present or past military - know?

I am currently working towards my BSN, but want to join the Air Force. I have looked into the HPSP, but the information I can find about it is pretty sporifice. Can anyone tell me when I can/should meet with a recruiter to talk about applying for the scholarship?! I might should add that I have just over one year left until graduation.
