Absolutely not - Seizures of any type, whether controllable or not, is an automatic medical disqualifier for any type of military service. You cannot be expected to be placed into a critical situation if you have a known condition in which you could have a seizure during that situation.
For example, let's say you were at the helm of a Nuclear Powered Fast-Attack submarine, conducting sea trials at extreme depths, heading for Test Depth, when you suddenly had a seizure. Such an occurrence could mean the loss of ship with all hands.
Another example if you were a Marine is in a firefight situation. You could be the person manning a key weapon at a critical moment when you have a seizure, and the loss of that weapon could mean the loss of the entire squad or worse.
Medical disqualifiers are the most common in the military, and there are many things that prevent people from being able to join the military.

Also, you must make sure that you join the correct branch of the military, ie;(assuming you're either American or British) if you join the Royal Navy/ Royal Marines you could be selected for the SBS, US Navy/ US Marines you could be selected for the Navy SEALS. But in either the British or US Armies you could go for the SAS or DELTA force, respectively.
