Hello everybody, I am 15 so I have a couple of years before I can apply for the AFA but just recently out of nowhere I have been having breathing problems. I went to the doctor today and did a bunch of tests and I am having to take some medications fo broncho-spasms I think it it. I saw on the AFA website that history of exercise-induced broncho-spasms after the 13th birthday is disqualifying but I am not sure if what I have is exercise induced. If this thing blows away in just a couple of weeks or something then would it affect my chances of getting into the academy or what? My family has absolutely no history of asthma or anything and I am 15 so I don’t think this breathing problem will last long. I kinda want to know because I am a c/1st Lt. in CAP and run varsity cross country with a homeschool team and I think I am set up for atleast getting a chance at getting a spot in the Academy but I am afraid this broncho-spasm thing may have disqualified me from ever getting into the Academy. If anyone can give me advice it would be much appreciated.
