The Defense Department has expanded the list of medical conditions that no longer disqualify people from enlisting in the military. More than 6,000 people have enlisted through a pilot program’s relaxed requirements, which allow recruits to enter basic training with previously disqualifying medical conditions, said Lin St. Clair, deputy director of the Defense Department’s accession policy directorate. When the program began in 2022, it included 38 conditions but was expanded earlier this year to 51. The program changes also further eased restrictions on previously included conditions such as attention deficient hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
