Can I join Any Front line Military Services if I have Cystic Fibrosis

I have a disease called cystic Fibrosis which effects my lungs and stomach, can I join the military. Not just an assistant but like in a battle. I'm kinda short and it is very early, I would have to wait a few years before I could join but I'd like to know in advance. I'm decently healthy and have never had complications but I mean I still have it. If anyone knows please let me know, thanks

Hi, Nick!

Lanie gave you good advice. You can call the military branches you are interested in and they can tell you for sure. I do think everyone has to go through boot camp when they join a branch of the military and that is a consideration also.

I have a friend with cystic fibrosis and has had this illness all his life. He is in his forties. He never was in the military but he drives a UPS truck for a living! They make a good income and he really likes it. He’s also a collector of older cars. He practically could open a museum! 😂. He is a neat man and enjoys his life to the fullest.

I just wanted to give you an idea so if the military doesn’t work out, there are other things you just might love to do and would be easy for you to handle. Stay strong and take one day at a time.
