Hello. I have a 35 degree curve in my spine from scoliosis, I do have pelvic tilt that is obvious with my shirt off. I was HOPING to join the Marine Corps and I was wondering if scoliosis would keep me from getting past MEPS. I am in good physical condition and scoliosis does not keep me from running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. I can carry a pack just fine, I do hike quite often. My chiropractor and orthopedist have agreed to sign waivers for me. So what are my chances of passing through MEPS?

Ok, I did all you asked, filled out the profile, read the sticky. Sorry about that...I did a search and one thread did kind of help me but that was for someone with "minor" scoliosis. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks! :D
