So I have had the thought to join the Air National Guard a little later than most do (I think). I am 27 years old and out of shape but working on that. I am tossing around the idea of joining the Air National Guard and wondering if I am even eligible due to a couple of items in regards to my health.
First off are the National Guard disqualifiers the same as full time Air Force or are they more lenient? I ask because I do have a history of migraines that are now controlled but can occasionally change my plans for the day. Also I exhibit all the symptoms of sleep apnea (awaiting results from sleep study to see what they say about it) which I noticed is a DQ for full time service but cant find any DQ list on the national guard site. I am thinking they use the same criteria though.
Thought you guys would know best without getting a recruiter hounding me haha. Just trying to figure out if this will be an option for me or not in the future.
