When I was 19-20, I tried joining the Navy, but further along as I went through processing, I got pretty sour on the whole thing. I eventually was disqualified because I have a burn scar on my chest that came from a jerk neighborhood kid when I was a child. They thought it might be from self harm, so I got disqualified. My recruiter appealed, and they made me take a psych evaluation.

I answered the whole thing thing kind of like an asshole, because I didn't really want to join anymore. I didn't answer anything like I want to kill people or have gnarly sexual urges or anything weird like that. Anyways the results came back, and they determined that I was depressed and an alcoholic. This made me happy, as I didn't want really want to join anymore. Anyways, for the record, I've never been so depressed that I wanted to kill myself or couldn't do day-to-day tasks, and I binge drinked probably once a month when I was younger (drinking lost its appeal when I turned 21).

So now I'm 24, in my third year at college as a Mathematics major and Physics & CSS minor. My question to you all is, do you think I'm still disqualified from all US Armed Forces? Would going into any of the Armed Forces with my education mean anything to them? I want to join because before I entered college I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but now I'm nearing graduation I'm not quite as sure. I think it'd be nice to have the military pay some of my student debts (I haven't missed any payments, or in emergency mode or anything, my credit is pretty much perfect), and I also like the idea of just being told what to do. Military life seems simple in that you just do whatever your superiors tell you to do, and I think it's nice that the military is pretty much a self running thing and business sales/customer service/etc doesn't mean much to them.
