How can you tell if you are flat footed and do you have to flat footed to be in the navy?

Answer 1

Having flat feet keeps you OUT of the military.

Answer 2

I'm flat-footed. To look at my foot when I'm not standing, it looks normal. However, when I stand, there is virtually NO space between my arch and the floor.

If you're NOT flat-footed, then you don't have a problem with enlisting. If you are, then a Navy doc will have to tell you yes or no.

Answer 7

At MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) the doctor will have you do lots of little excersizes to see if your limbs work/look right and then the "duck walk" and they will look at how your feet look, among other things. That will decide if you are flatfooted or not.
