Can A Person With Meniere's Disease Serve In The Military?

Do you think someone could serve in the military if he has meniere's disease? I am in my later twenties now but was diagnosed as a teenager after two acute attacks. But since I only have a spell of vertigo maybe twice of year and it is almost never severe.
