Can I Outgrow Absence Epilepsy If I've Had Gran Maul Seziures?

[FriesianGirl]

     Hi, I've looked everywhere but I haven't found an answer to my questions. So I think I've had short bouts of absence Seziures since I was 13, maybe younger. But at 14 I had a gran maul Seziure, and another, and another. It took forever to have the medications just right.
     So, I was looking on an absence Seziure website thing and it made it seem like if you had Gran Maul Seziures you would never grow out of it, is that true? They also made it seem like if you did grow out of it, it could come back.
     Also, it seems like some, or most, Absence Seziures happen to younger kids, and they grow out of it at puberty. Mine seemed to start at puberty, then get worse as he years went on. Is that normal in any little way, and/or does it indicate something bad...?

     One of the reasons I'm wondering is because I think I have wanted to go into the Navy, but now that I have Seziures I know I can't. I turned 16 recently, is there a chance I will grow out of it soon?(also, I'm a girl, does that affect the epilepsy in any way?)
Oh, and does anyone know if the Military(Navy, specifically) will take someone with a history of Seziures?

Thanks, all, for your time, it means a lot.
