Hi docs, would the back disease kyphosis stop you from getting into the military?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The department of defense website seems to say that curvature over 55 degrees or any curvature that impairs the ability to perform military duties or wear a uniform may be an issue. It may help to check the website or with a local recruiter.
