Hi everyone,

I am currently considering switching career paths to something new.

When I was in college, I frequently had panic attacks due to my high levels of anxiety at the time. During one of them I very dumbly spouted suicidal comments and the police were called. They took me to the hospital and I was evaluated by a doctor, who thought I was fine. I ultimately went home without being hospitalized.

Unfortunately, in my medical records it says that I was brought to the hospital on a 5150 hold (a psych hold in CA). Does this mean I'm completely banned from the military? Would it make any difference at all if I waited some time to put more time between now and this event?

Thanks.
