Kidney Disease

My condition is completely not transmittable, and it in no way has ever effected me physically. In fact I dont even have to take medication for it. Its just something i was born with. The disease is known as “Thin Basement Membrane Disease”

      Best way to know is to contact a recruiter. I know you are at least going to have to get a medical waiver though.

      AR 40-501, Standards of Medical Fitness outlines the medical disqualifications. What you find there pretty much applies to all the services.

      only a MEPS doctor can make that call
      and just because it doesn’t adversely affect you in the civilian world does NOT mean you can serve in the military. higher standards .
