Thanks guys for your Honest answers....
altho David, you think you have problems writing it.... I harassed him so bad as kids growing up about it. (i'm such a terrible sister)

I don't see why he would have any trouble joining either. Having only one testicle is not really a "health problem" and would not limit his ability to perform his duty (I am trying very hard not to chuckle as I write this line) or be deployed.

I don't see why not. I know people who have had a testicle removed and still were able to serve without problems. As long as there is no continuous care that he needs. Have him speak to a recruiter.

Yes, as long as he is able to perform as other soldiers would and this defect does not interfere in any way.

based on the merit of this one question only:
he is disqualified until he can provide medical documentation demonstrating he has no further problems with it. we call it a waiver.

He may join, but risks being called Uniball for the duration of his enlistment.

you don't pull a trigger with your testicles.
Why would you want him to go into the Army now?
Coast Guard would be a better gig or the Air force.
