Question
can you fly a plane if you have asthma?
Your doctor needs to assess how severe your asthma really is. It is, in some circumstances, a barrier to entry in the first place. You need to go and have it accurately diagnosed and tested to see what the doctors say about your ability to serve and in what capacity.

I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
