Hello Marines,

I have a question to ask and I hope anyone of you all could help me out. I have wanted to become a Marine ever since I graduated from high school. I didn't join because I was kind of a sissy and though I could not hack it. I joined the Navy instead. I did my time got a little better with my fitness and decided to join the Marines when I got out. I got out and decided to go to college while I was waiting to join. I got involved with a local rugby team and ended up breaking my ankle. I got hit in a very awkward position. I had to have a pin and metal plate put in. The pin has come out but the metal plate is still in. I wanted to know if it's possible to get a wavier for this. I read that as long as the orthopedic hardware is in a place where it's not likely to break again that it is not disqualifying. Has anyone heard of or known anyone who has gotten a waiver for this. Thank you for your time Marines.
