Finishing up military, questions about hiring process (currently military police)

[alc31180]

Hey all
I am sure these questions recycle themselves over and over again, so I apologize.

I am currently serving in the Air Force, I am 26 years old. I am Security Forces (military police). I am done in late Feb 07 and heading back home to NYC. I am of course looking to continue in a field of law enforcement / security, since it is what I went to school for in the AF.


Here is my problem. I am being medically discharged due to having a small count of panic disorders, as well as stress. The doctor told my command that it is not something to worry about, that I could finish my enlistment, but they saw it fit to discharge me from the military. In turn I was told by my doctor that the military was not for me to begin with, and in turn was a good idea to leave and take the medical benefits, that the reason I am having panic attacks and stress and situational depression is military related, and civilian life will be better for me.

SO, I have been diagnosed with situational depression, and have taken medication in the past. My doctor also wrote in his reports that I can bear a firearm (currently using M4 Carbine, M203 grenade launcher, M249 SAW, M9 pistol on the job) and would also included in my reports that I am not a hazard.

Obviously this is now an uphill battle.

I have 75 college credits, a military backround (1.5 years) and went to the Security Police academy in Lackland AFB, TX.

Any opinions on this matter?

Make sure you get your Doctor's opinion in wiriting, if your condition would have any effect on your ability to safeguard sensitive information.
