Can Tree Nut allergy get accepted into Navy?


I have a tree nut allergy and want to join the navy but can i get in haveing this allergy

It is entirely dependant on what position in the Navy and how severe the allergy is. For example you will never be able to become a Blue Angel pilot with severe allergies. However, you can easily become a grunt with most allergies unless you have a severe allergy to something such as grass. Also, the navy has medical treatments for allergies in which you receive small shots of the allergen until you become immune which they may offer you.

I'd suggest speaking with your local recruiter as they would have all the information based on your test scores and how the allergy would affect you in the Military.

Why not?Allergies won't make you less of a bullet sponge!Just stay away from those nuts!
...*chuckle*

Actually, I couldn't find anything on the US military about their nut allergy policy. I think it depends on if you need immediate attention with epi or if you can wait if in combat...

nothing should ever keep you.
