Hello, I want to enlist in the army, but I have Schermann's Kyphosis with a curvature of 78 degrees.?

The spine deformity doesn't limit me at all in any way shape or form, nor does it cause me pain. What are my chances of getting a medical waiver?

Kyphosis greater than 55 degrees when measured by the Cobb method is disqualifying for entry into the armed forces.
No waivers.

Slim.

Scheuermann's Kyphosis is a disqualifying, not waiverable deformity.
