Would taking steriods for my Asthma when I was younger (over 8 years ago) bar me from entry like the royal marines?

Hello,

I am afraid we are unable to answer individual medical enquiries here. Please start an application on the Army jobs website, once we are able to review your medical records we can give you a better idea of whether or not your application may be successful.

We will take into account how long you have been symptom free and how much treatment you required previously.

You can start an application here https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join
