Will exercise-induced asthma keep me from joining the Air Force?My asthma is very very mild and can be managed easily with an inhaler. It's not the crippling kind that people associate with early childhood. In fact, it went undiagnosed until I was 23. In the time between then and now, I attended a summer Marine citizenship program called Devil Pups, won several martial arts and sports trophies and have ran and swam competitively. Will the military automatically exclude me if my medical record says "asthma" or will this be based on its severity?

Yes...any asthma diagnosed after age 13 is a disqualifying factor.

Automatically excluded.
What if you go into combat and have to run .. for some weird reason.. and u have an asthma attack? you wont have your inhaler on you.
Youd be more of a liability.. not meaning to sound rude ... but its honest.
