I have a common food allergy and want to enlist into the military. Will they let me?

food allergy
2 Peter 3:3-7 asked:


I am allergic to eggs, a very common food ingredient. It is not a severe reaction, but a minor one that will never be fatal in the amount found in food. I can not tolerate the irritation food with eggs gives me and can not eat them. Will I be rejected if I try to enlist into the Coast Guard or Air Force? If not, will they accommodate my food needs in boot camp?

      You need to tell them when you take the physical. If you do and they still take you, then they are responsible for you if you have a problem with the food.
