I wish I knew. The military seems to have a very negative generalization about people with Asthma. Most of us are actually very athletic. I'm not even old enough to enlist yet, but I know I will be turned down because my last incident was after my 13th birthday. I don't even have asthma anymore, and I'll still be turned down. There should be some sort of a petition to change this.

Another View: (in the US) Primarily because the military can ill afford to have medically fragile persons involved in high stress situations during a period of time when they may either not have access to their medications, or they may suddenly be struck by a disabling attack, thereby placing their comrades at risk due to the loss of manpower.

It depends which country you serve and to what degree you are affected by the disease. If you can prove that the asthma is not triggered by stress and that you can operate efficiently with a frog on your face you might well be allowed to serve.
