An absent testicle: Undescended testicle, testis tumor, large varicocele or scrotal hernia are all conditions which coulod prevent u from joining military. However an undescended testicle can be brought down surgically, hydrocele or hernia could be repaired. These are 3 correctable conditions, which after correction would make u ok to join.
