If there's no "proof" then join the military anyways. Air Force is the best way to do this.
Anyway, while I am in excellent shape, I don't have the whole of my twenties to piss away on a whim, so you'll forgive me if I look at all my options first before signing my life away for six years.
If people thought like this there would literally never be another person ever enlisted in the military. Everyone has some sort of neurological "dysfunction" that the outdated military system thinks is world ending. If a doctor doesn't say you have it, it doesn't exist. You'll be fine.
>before signing my life away for six years
You can sign for 4! Here's the path I'm taking:
- Programming job in the Air Force, got free training and experience for 4 years - Either use SkillBridge to get a paid internship with a defense contractor/other large tech company, or immediately go from military to GS - Eventually use the fact that I get 3 years of paid college for free w/ post 9/11 GI bill
No matter what you're gonna have to spend 4 years of your life doing something, might as well get guaranteed training/experience + veteran status. If you want to get involved with gov't tech careers military is the way to go IMO. Just make sure you join the Air/Space Force so you actually get to do your job, most people who join other branches regret it.
Obviously I'm not trying to say this is the only option, there are probably other paths available, but this is by far the easiest/most common/most "low risk" way of doing things.
Anyway thank you for your remarks, I'd love to hear more even if it's not my path.
