Crohn's

[Dark Lord]

I have crohns disease and i am only sixteen. I am in great physical condition but ia am wondering if having this disease will not allow me to join. It is in remission so i wont get sick for a while and have two years until i am done with school. I wont be able join the army because they wont let me in with my health condition.

Unfortunatley, as per Department of Defense Instruction 6130.4 Crohn's disease is a disqualifer, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Unfortunately not, because all branches of the military have the same procurement policy for applicants. Sorry
