I have a friend who is very interested in enlisting for the Marine Corps, but he is worried about his leg discrepancy. Does anyone know if this would be a disqualification for enlistment? He uses 3/4" lifts and they can fit in shoes.

Current leg-length discrepancy resulting in a limp (736.81) is disqualifying.

That isn't to say he can't get in. Talk with a recruiter and see if they offer a waiver for that (they do for just about everything).
