Will the Marine Corps accept me with small intestine surgery as an infant?
I took my ASVAB today and scored a 73. My recruiter brought me back to the station and asks for my medical history. I'm 18 years old, and in exceptional shape, but as a child was diagnosed with Hirschsprung Disease, which is when your small intestines were not connected in the womb due to prematurity. It was fixed immediately, and I've been fine ever since. My recruiter became very weary when I told him, and showed him my scar that i still have which is noticeable, but not severe. He said they may reject me due to a major surgery. Should I start to consider other branches because the Marine Corps may not accept me? This is ridiculous considering I've never had any problems, and at 6'1" 190 pounds, and very strong, obviously physical stress is not a factor.
