New to these forums, but I have a bit of a problem. I used to take effexor for a minor bout of depression. Nothing serious, never really had any major issues. Just wondering if anyone knows if people who have had depression in the past have gotten accepted. I was also given a form to have my doc fill out, but I opted to get a psychiatrist fill it out instead. I have never really been under the care of a psychiatrist though, only my family doc and he suggested it would be a good idea to talk to a head-doctor. I'll be trying for the infantry and I guess the question "Can he/she/ safely use a weapon" threw him off, even though I'd be more than safe. Am I screwed, or is there still a chance? Any reply would be apreciated. Thanks.
