I know that the rules state that we should not ask specific medical questions since there are no Doctor's or MEPS personnel on the board but I am not sure where to go for answers. I asked my recruiter and he said that he wasn't sure.
I had a few car accidents over the years (1 deemed "my fault where I received a ticket and two that the other driver received a ticket for) one of them was an accident at a Red light where I was rear ended by a utility van where the driver was not paying attention, estimates said I was hit at 35 miles an hr while I was at a dead stop. For that accident I took the option for medical attention and saw a chiropractor who X-rayed me and did about 6-8 months worth of physical therapy.
My question: Is whiplash a disqualifier for MEPS?
I ask because whiplash is a fairly common thing so perhaps a Marine who has experienced MEPS or perhaps someone on here who received the bad news of a DQ due to it can shed some light on the matter.
