This is my second day here after registering. I am not sure if I chose the right choice for what "race" I am. I live in America, I am white. I read the rules and things and tried a search, but it didn't do a search. I hope that me saying that within this post is okay. When I bend my right ankle downwards it makes a "pop" or "crack" noise. When I am runnning it cracks. It's not too loud when I am running,but it can be a bit loud. It's not painful so there isn't any reason to see some kind of foot doctor anytime soon. I have a little reduced eyesight in my right eye only. I am hoping that I will be able to go into the Force Recon Marines .I am not in Marine boot camp yet. The eyesight requirement said: Must have vision correctable to 20/20 in both eyes.
Color blindness is discouraged.
What kind of vision correction is allowed ?
I heard of glasses,but they can fall off easialy. Are contacts allowed for vision improvement in the Military ?

SPEEDY Please note

your body color before you attain the Title of Marine is trivial.

Marine Body Color is usually a (Shade of Green) when you earn the title.
AKA=MarineCorpsGreen.

your race ? Marines Finish FIRST/LAST/ or someplace in the middle
BUT WE NEVER QUIT

Be advised that none of us here are doctors .
Most all of us who give you advise , ,
have various parts of our bodies that sound like a bowl of rice crispies ,
when we rise in the morning (OR popping corn in a microwave) ,
take your choice.

See a recruiter/ask a recruiter


Because , I'd lie to you in a HeartBeat

Good Luck

ok. Thank you sirs. My ankle cracks not real loud when running if I step a certain way. I know most of you probably wouldnt be like a doctor or anything, but I thought that I would just ask here since there are Marines here. I will talk to a recruiter sometime.
