Hi turk3y! Sorry, this may not be very helpful at all because I’m not exactly sure about broncho-spasms, but my brother ended up getting denied an appointment to the Naval Academy because of asthma. He got an LOA and two different nominations but when they found out that he used to have asthma, it was a no-go. He was a varsity wrestler and didn’t have any problems in high school with it; got a letter from his coach and doctor, too. I don’t think they like to take chances with breathing problems. But that’s asthma, I don’t know about the spasms. Sorry. I hope it all works out for you. (And there is a medical waiver process, too, if it does become a problem.)
