Cutting
Hello all. I am hoping someone can advise us. My daughter is interested in joining the Navy after high school(she will graduate in 2019). However, she has a history of cutting. Will this affect her chances of joining?

Hello. My son just graduated from boot camp on April 6. He said one of his division members (the group they are with the entire boot camp) was not able to complete program due to history of depression prior to boot camp.

Not necessarily. Legal, school and medical records are pulled for all recruits and reviewed. As a recruiter's mom, I know they spend a good bit of time checking all aspects of each future sailor. Erh12275 your daughter should be open with the recruiter she talks to. In many cases they will work recruits if they know the details upfront and don't get surprised with something.

She will eventually need to straight up ask a recruiter, and see if she needs a waiver to join. Cutting can be a disqualifier, and she needs to fully disclose any medical or psychological treatment she has had. They will find out, she should absolutely not conceal it. She has time enough now to make cutting a thing of the past, which would improve her chances of getting a waiver. It is not a complete upfront hard NO.
