    You need a better profile for sure,Semper Fidelis.

    Yes, this does bother me.
    You should also work on some basic sentence structure while you're at it, capital letters at beginning of sentences, capitalize the letter "I", and periods at end of sentences.

    We are not on a smartphone and you are not texting us. Write as if you are in highschool; not grammar school.

    You basically asked the same questions a week ago, with the exception of the medical questions, so I merged both of your topics together. (Double posting isn't allowed).


    As I've already mentioned to you in a previous post.......you really, really need to work on some basic sentence structure there young man, and no excuses that you're using a cell phone.



    And as for your medical conditions, the best answers you're going to get are to talk with a recruiter face-to-face, not over the phone.


    There are no doctors frequenting this website. If you have a medical question that hasn’t already been answered by searching the forums, you’ll have to contact a recruiting office. If they cannot answer your question, you may be directed to a medical representative from MEPS.

    Again, read that one carefully. We are Marines (and a few Corpsman). We are not doctors. Medical questions will usually be answered by someone cutting and pasting a section from the about.com website. We cannot explain why your waiver was denied and someone elses was granted. Sorry but that's the way THAT is, too.

    Military Medical Standards for Enlistment & Commission

    Lungs, chest wall, pleura, and mediastinum

    Jun 10 2009
    The disqualifying medical conditions are listed below. The International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes are listed in parentheses following each standard.

    The causes for rejection for appointment, enlistment, and induction (without an approved waiver) are an authenticated history of:

    Current chest wall malformation (754), including, but not limited to pectus excavatum (754.81), or pectus carinatum (754.82), if these conditions interfere with vigorous physical exertion, is disqualifying.

    As far as the physical aspect goes, you will probably be ahead of a good portion of your peers. Medically is something you will have to talk to your recruiter about. Some things can be waived, other things can be conviently forgotten about. In the end though, you have to make sure you are comfortable going through 13 weeks of hell with an injury that may come back.
