I am off my medication since last month and I think I can do good without them. I even took the ASVAB online scored 88%. I want to join Infantry.

I doubt it.   They have enough mental health issues without taking people who already have them.

If you don't tell them they'll pick it up anyway and you're out of there.

no. I don't think there's any legit military in the world that accepts recruits with schizophrenia

You cannot get into the military with a mental illness.

No, you can't join the military with a mental disorder. Imagine if you had an episode while in possession of a gun or other weapon

Sure you can, but what about the guy you talk to?

Ask your recruiter, that's what they are there for.
