Epilepsy

Hi, I've always wanted to join the army, but have been unable to due to my epilepsy. I only have nocturnal epilepsy and have never had a seizure during the day. I have one roughly every 2/3 years in my sleep and wake up a bit drowsy but am back to normal in no time.
My question is, are the restrictions the same for military police?

Hi a friend of mine was told she had to be 10 years without a seizure before she will be considered and with gp letters to back it up

In the Army you are often at it day and night, also there can be a lot of stress, this is inclined to bring on attacks more easily
