Question
Will I be allowed to join the Army active duty if I have been diagnosed and treated for leaukemia?
It depends on many factors. Your best bet is to bring your entire medical file, including details of your treatment, with you to the army doctors when you're being processed for intake. They can make the determination, but the chances are 50/50 at best.

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.
