Has any QP's or other service members made it through MEPs with them knowing (if) you have a record of concussions? I have had 3 mild concussions from motocross crashes that have all resulted in ER visits, so I'd imagine I cant lie about it. I scored well on my ASVAB today (AFQT=81, GT=116), but when filling out my medical form, my recruiter told me that many times just 1 concussion is a DQ from MEPs.

I can understand the concern within the military and concussions, since having just one can make you more susceptible to getting another one easily. Concussions seem so common, I wouldn't imagine every enlisted soldier has never had one.

In short, has any of y'all made it through MEPs with at least one documented concussion, much less, three? Please share your stories, they will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
