At a local "IBD Update" in our area this spring the keynote speaker was an air force pilot who talked about how his UC was "cured" by surgical removal of his colon. (I've found that my UC hasn't been cured but that's not the topic.)
He found out he had UC after being in the military for a long time. He was in it to be his career. When he got so ill with it that he could no longer function he had his colon removed and went to an end ileo, no j-pouch. It sounded like they let him remain in the air force until he could leave with the number of years he needed to receive his pension. He went to extra ordinary measures to remain in the military. He trained excessively including running daily. He was able to fly a few more times but that was all. So even though he was in top shape and easily passed all physical tests they didn't allow him to serve. He didn't harbor any ill feelings towards anyone and was grateful that he was able to stay in long enough to retire.
I'm an accountant so think you've picked a good career. There are good accounting jobs with the government, besides the IRS, like with the GAO.
Have you thought about other positions, like with the FBI fighting white collar crime? Maybe you could become a CIA analyst. My nephew has a Human Resources civilian job with the Army and just spent 4 years in Germany. He had a wonderful time traveling all over Europe while there.
It is good to hear you have done so well and are a j-pouch success! I'm grateful that you want to serve our country. Good luck in whatever you decide to do with your future!!!
