Question
Hi, Sir. I would like to know something. I have scoliosis and i like to join the USMC. My scoliosis is more than 30 degrees(thoratic). Is this waivable? Is this true that if you have college credit, they will give you a waiver? thank you.
Hi there! Thats a really good question regarding the scoliosis, Ive got a friend who is a pilot who has it too, but Im not sure what degree his is compared to yours - your best bet for this type of question (and the college credit question) is to contact your nearest recruiter and explain to him your situation, he will be able to give you a definite answer in regards to your overall eligibility. Semper Fi and good luck!
