Can i get into the marines/army with a venous malformation.

[joshuabloom99]

Ive wanted to join the military sense i was in forth grade, but always told that i could never because i have a venous malformation that runs through the left side of my back. It causes scoliosis, but i can do everything else a normal person can do. My malformation doesn't restrict me from any of the requirements and can only kill me if punctured deeply.

Yeah, I was originally going to be a firefighter because i basically already am one for my town and that was what I was going to go to college for but my girlfriend might be an MP (military police) for the U.S. and I wanted a job that could pass the time so I didn't have to come home to be by myself every other night. And will do, THANK YOU!!!

@joshuabloom99- I am not familiar with your type of malformation...but it is possible during the physical exam you may be considered a risk and not allowed to join.....I admire your wanting to serve your country by serving in the  military and would encourage you to find other forms or serving....should you be told you can not do so in the military as you wanted. Best of Luck and do keep us posted on what you find out.
