What are the chances of getting DQ'd?
Alright so I've been actively looking into joining the Marine Corps, I have several friends that are in and they are all an inspiration to me. When I was a freshman in highschool I got diagnosed with something called Schuermans Kyphosis, very minor at that. The orthopedic surgeon I met with decided to give me a brace to wear at nights just to ensure that it would not get any worse over time. I'm 20 years old now and am in no way held back by it at all. I work out with no problems and my job is pretty physical (lifting 50+ pounds for hours at a time). I was told that my curve was in the 9th percentile which is very minor and I'm not even close to being considered for surgery. I'm worried that I will get disqualified at MEP's for this and my dream will get derailed. So if anyone could give me any reassurance or advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Marines.
