Hi! I'm new here. I plan to enlist in a month and I already talked to a recruiter and It's pretty much all set up. One thing I forgot to tell the recruiter about was a scar on my and that I completely forgot about. Being how the marines is very selective it worries me that I wont be able to join.
The scar is on my left hand and about an inch below my thumb. It's in the shape of an X. What happened was in 10th grade I took metal tech. I was careless with my welding as I was welding this "X" design on a small table i was making. I guess I didnt weld it on tight enough and when i took off my gloves the X fell off onto my hand. My hand swelled up and I could smell the burned skin but I did nothing of it. Just band aid of it and in a few weeks it healed but now I have this scar. Sometimes you can see it well and other times you can't at all. Heres a pic of it. Also the scar on my knuckle is from a small biking accident. Sorry about the pic being so big. Also I'm not sure if I even posted this in the right section.
