I really want to join the army but i broke my leg when i was 10. I am now 23 and really neeed to do something. I am just wondering is it true i cant get in because of that injury or what. please help ty

Answer 1

Just go ahead and try.

Answer 2

Depends on how serious your injury was. I mean if your leg can function and won't get in the way of you performing your job I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. They'll give you a full screening before you join. Besides I think the army is desperate for recruits thats why they raised the age limit...LOL (JMO I think it's funny to have a 42 yo PVT)

Answer 3

I had broken my leg, arm twice, nose and jaw before joining the Army. I have 2 metal plates and a pin in my jaw. I had no problem enlisting in the Army and after my enlistment was up I went into ROTC in college. You will have no problems enlisting because of a 13 year old break.

Answer 4

Medical records are only kept for about 3-5 years.. If you don't tell them. They won't know.

When i joined,my recruiter told me to say i had never been XRAYED before..

everyones been xrayed.. not like it hurts you,but technically that disqualifies you from joining hte army or any branch of service.

So the broken leg, as long as it isnt a hindrance now.. forget about

Answer 5

so i'm 17 and prefer to connect the army. I have been given informed final 365 days I even have mild bronchial asthma, I spoke to a cyber web officer some weeks in the past and he or she mentioned if I even have been clean for 5 years i might desire to connect, yet I have been given given a pump final 365 days through fact I had a chest an infection, I defined to the officer i did not use it and he or she mentioned i might desire to get a docs word and take a inspect and charm it, what do you think of my risk is? additionally my bronchial asthma does not impact me different than for as quickly as I run yet i think of it rather is in simple terms through fact im not used to it, do you think of if I went back to the docs and defined i don't want my pump and that i don't get affected, they might say i don't even have bronchial asthma anymore, my bronchial asthma became basically mild besides so is there a raffle it would desire to have in simple terms long previous? ive in no way had an bronchial asthma attack and ive basically had a million pump the previous couple of years which i've got not used.

Answer 6

As long as it doesn't hamper you in any way,you should be able to join provided you meet all enlistment criteria. Your best bet would be to talk to a recruiter.P.S. Don't listen to that TWIT pompous gina, she's just another of those commie skanks that takes her lifestyle for granted,& would be the first to bit*h when she looses it.People like that don't know what they have 'till they DO loose it!!!Good Luck & Gods Speed!!

Answer 7

As long as it doesn't bother you anymore, you're fine. I'd various injuries before joining and didn't have any problems joining.

Answer 8

You won't know until you try..So go ahead and if you do I want to be the first to congratulate you..My son is in the army and is currently in Iraq...Good Luck ...

Answer 9

They will give you a physical and as long as it doesn't affect your ability's then there won't be a problem.
I've noticed most people fail it because of sight and hearing.

Answer 10

Unless it hasn't healed there is no reason why you can't join the military.

Answer 11

A recruiter will set you up with a medical exam, and they will let you know for sure.
