Crohn's disease is disqualifying for enlistment or appointment.

I don't think you can. I had a friend that was diagnosed with the same disease and she was medically retired from the Navy. I think it would be too much of a risk for the military to take on because you would be required to stay close to a major military hospital and that limits you to where you can be stationed. I would talk to a recruiter and ask the question to be absolutely sure.

Instead of asking here, you should ask a military recruiter in one of the military services.
