Can I join the Marines if I have a missing toe and a short leg?

Question

I'm 17 years old and I want to join the US Marines. I was born premature and my left leg is smaller and shorter than my right. This year however, I am getting a surgery that will fully fix my the length issue so I will be balanced out. But of course I will still only have 9 toes. Also my shoe sizes are different. My missing toe does not really affect me that much. I can still run, jump, ect. no problem. I really want to do this and fight for my country but can I join under these conditions? I'd really appreciate a response. Thanks

Answer 1

It's very honorable that you want to serve your country, but seeing as the military is having cutbacks I highly doubt you will get in. But I am not 100% positive, look up online for Marines standards of disqualification, if that doesn't answer your question go to a recruiter's office.

Never going to happen kid, but you can limp behind the counter in McDonald's all you want.
