Hello Marines,
i just had a quick questions hopefully you guys can shine some light on me. So I plan on enlisting once I'm done with high school, right now I'm a junior, and I was just wondering how strict the marines are health wise. Do you have to be 100% healthy and have no problems or can you get away with having a medical condition such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)?

I believe IBS is a disqualifier as well as other chronic illness or issues

So the simple answer is yes you have to be 100%
