      @Extinct900 10 лет назад

      No they aren't.
      The Marines will look into your medical history no matter what.
      If you still take pills, you cannot enlist.
      If you do NOT take the pills anymore, within the past 1year before you enlist, you can.
      You should be good even if you show them you medical stuff.

  • @destensgaming669
    @destensgaming669 6 лет назад +1

    So I need advice on something, I was approached by my recruiter in high school and he asked if I want to join, told him I don't think I could because my leg length discrepancy, now at the time I didn't exactly know the measurements difference between my legs and recently found out that there are three centimeters different. Now I had done a doc appointment since I was told to do in order to go to MEPS was that he said I would be disqualified. Now should I go ahead and do MEPS or just take it as it is and accept that I have been disqualified since the doctor said I would?

    I'd love to know what his feet, socks, and boots smell like after being in them for a 16 hour day. I remember when I was in basic in 97, my bunk mate below me was a 19 year old recruit, and he kept very good hygiene but after 16 hours in the brutal heat of South Carolina, his feet smelled but after about 10 days he developed athletes foot, and then they really reaked, fortunately he wasn't the only one who had that issue. This may sound weird but I don't care, for me there is nothing sexier than a man that has that sweaty smell.

      As long as you can get corrected to 20/20 it will be fine; however, I do recommend getting a new pair of glasses just before, you have to pass the depth perception test or else you would need to go through another process to get your eye checked out. Made that mistake... Now have to wait another week... great...

I feel a little discomfort now and again but its nothing severe or painful. Im active with exercise and it does not interfere with my motion abilities what so ever.. is it a diqualifier? Dont want to mention it and im certain theres no way they will know just by looking unless they take xrays. Please get back to me..

    Just curious what if I don't mention it, I haven't yet went to meps because I'm waiting for an endorsement for my tattoo waiver then. as soon as I get it' I'll be doing meps. , then the endorsement will be sent to the head quarters.. The reason I'm stating all of this is because I'm already waiting for approval for a tattoo waiver that goes above my collar bone but doesnt appear in any of the uniform nd may give me a problem I don't know if it would be bright to mention it.. Should I be worried?

    When they check your teeth do you just open your mouth and they look in it or do you get x-rays or something

    They'll counsel you, but more than likely they'll let you enlist.

    I'm confused does the ASVAB seriously seriously matter, i hear people say its no pass or fail

      THE ASVAB does matter. you can not enter into the Service without it even if you already have a degree. 31 is the lowest scores you can attain and 99 is the highest score you can attain. Keep in mind that the recruiters can only put in so many applicants that score below a 50 on the ASVAB. TEST.

      If the ASVAB didn't matter they would not spend the time scoring it. Yes it matters and you really need to work at doing your best at everything especially if you want to be a MARINE.... The best of the best.

      Sons_of_Liberty Well I would say yes they are pretty bright and some of those ASVAB scores prove that. Aren't you glad so many enlisted to keep your freedom for ignorant rants.
