Two questions.
I am prior service, and am looking to get back in. I have two questions.
1- I have developed Acne on my back the past several years. (Not sure why.) Will this prevent me from re-enlisting, or just restrict me from some areas?
2- It seems my arches (in my feet) have fallen over the years. Will this prevent me from re-enlisting, or just restrict me from some areas?
Thanks for your time.

Current diseases of sebaceous glands to include severe acne, if extensive involvement of the neck,
shoulders, chest, or back is present or would be aggravated by or interfere with the proper wearing of military
equipment, are disqualifying. Applicants under treatment with systemic retinoids, including, but not limited to
isotretinoin (Accutane(r)) are disqualified until 8 (eight) weeks after completion of therapy.
2- It seems my arches (in my feet) have fallen over the years. Will this prevent me from re-enlisting, or just restrict me from some areas?
Excessive accumulation of fat in the body manifested by poor muscle tone, flabbiness and folds, bulk out of proportion
to body build, dyspnea and fatigue upon mild exertion, and frequently accompanied by flat feet. Which if is the case would need to be your first concern prior to re-enlisting. When your feet are examined they will be evaluated based on the stability of your feet, presence of symptoms, presence of aversion, stable, bulging of the inner border, and rotation.
