Suicide Waiver

[EKNuke]

A few months ago, (a year by the time i get to meps) i had a suicide attempt  i stopped before i got too far to really od, but i went to the hospital to be safe  the doc said i was very very unlikely to try again and ive had some major quality of life improvements so i feel im even less likely to try again. i want to be honest with the military and even if i did lie id worry about the clearance. how likely would it be for me to get a waiver?
edit: the hospitalization consisted of drinking medical charcoal to clear my stomach and waiting 18 hours for the psych to come release me

someone around here will have a link to some NAVYPERSMAN sorta thing that will spell out your odds vis a vis waivers, exemptions, medical evaluations, flat out nowheyjoses, etc,....

if you are only joining the Navy to be a nuke, do not join if they say no,...

if you just want to join the Navy, do not be a Navy nuke, just join up,...

well, navy nuke isnt the only thing i'm looking at, but most of the things i'd be good at require top secret clearance, and this is the only forum i've found where everyone knows about getting it. But any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Probably Secret not Top Secret unless you go into something like cypto or radio.

crypto, actually. really anything with numbers, I got my degree in math.

oh, also, as to why meps is so far off, i have a different medical condition that /USED/ to be a pdq, but the ban is being lifted. I still cant actually apply until it is though, so I've got to wait. I talked to the recruiter and he said that he liked my chances for nuke or crypto.

Seeing as this is a reason to be discharged from the military, a waiver is probably unlikely.
