If I have had anxiety attacks in the past should I still consider joining the Marines?

Since I was 15 or so I wanted to join the Marines – I am 22 now – and now that I am graduating college I am considering on entering an OCS program; probably the Marine Corps OCS. When I was 19 I began getting anxiety attacks for no apparent reason. Now that they are quite rare, should I still consider my career in Marine Corps OCS?

I think we all get that phase where you get anxiety or sad stressed ect. If you feel like you are fine now then i would say go for it.
If it’s going to happen again it’ll happen in Basic training. Give it a go, what have you to lose?
Yes! maybe basic training will help you get rid of your fears. Though if it doesn’t, you should at least not be in the front lines, an indecisive soldier who freezes up and panics is a dead soldier and could get his comrades killed.
Go for it (unless you were diagnosed with something at the time you were having anxiety attacks, that would likely DQ you)
As other posters mentioned you will conquer your fears and develop the confidence to handle anything life sends you.
