Close thread please

thx tho

 

If you're not fit don't bother, you need to tryout(this is not meps) before go to boot camp. What are some things you would like to pursue? I'm going to Meps after I get my waiver.

 

Have fun in bootcamp :>. Even the fittest of men drop out.

 

recruiter told me he will get me fitt enough for basic

 

Can't go to basic until you pass the IST. Never go for minimum just to pass cuz 3rd class isn't that good and doesn't get you a lot of promotions,

 

so i shouldnt join

 

3 months of intense work and you can't just quit if you don't feel being in it in anymore. If you get discharge from the military good luck finding a good job. Marines is the hardest branch of all and not a joking matter. If you really wanna be in the military think the Marines is hard for you try the Navy or Airforce and army is ehh lol.

 

its either marines or not at all man but maybe...

 

how so? someone in your in family was in the marines or something?

 

yea

 

gl and dont wait to the last minute to train lol.

 

wat class u in

 

Not in yet, I need a waiver first to join. Don't lie on certain stuff especially your health. I'm very fit but I have lot of scars on my back, which they would think negative If I don't get wavier.

 

i got glaucoma and multiple concusions

 

what you mean by multiple concussions? glaucoma idk they will allow it I have to look into it.

 

Im joiining navy instead then
Will they let me in even with Glaucoma

 

VISION
The causes for rejection for appointment, enlistment, and induction are:

a. Distant visual acuity of any degree that does not correct with spectacle lenses to at least one of the following:

(1) 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye.

(2) 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye.

(3) 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye. However, for entrance into USMA or ROTC, distant visual acuity that does not correct to 20/20 in one eye and 20/40 in the other eye is disqualifying. For entrance into OCS, distant visual acuity that does not correct to 20/20 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye is disqualifying.

b. Near visual acuity of any degree that does not correct to 20/40 in the better eye.

c. Refractive error (hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism), in any spherical equivalent of worse than -8.00 or +8.00 diopters; if ordinary spectacles cause discomfort by reason of ghost images or prismatic displacement; or if corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery. However, for entrance into USMA or Army ROTC programs, the following conditions are disqualifying:

(1) Astigmatism, all types over 3 diopters.

(2) Hyperopia over 8.00 diopters spherical equivalent.

(3) Myopia over 8 diopters spherical equivalent.

(4) Refractive error corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery.

d. Contact lenses. Complicated cases requiring contact lenses for adequate correction of vision, such as corneal scars and irregular astigmatism.

e. Color vision. Although there is no standard, color vision will be tested because adequate color vision is a prerequisite for entry into many military specialties. However, for entrance into the USMA or Army ROTC or OCS programs, the inability to distinguish and identify without confusion the color of an object, substance, material, or light that is uniformly colored a vivid red or vivid green is disqualifying.

 

Get checked out by your eye doctor and get note from them just in case.

 

I already contacted recruiter and said I can't. Nvm
