What to do if i have a heart disease and already had surgery is there any branch of military i can join or any loop holes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart disease: If you're 49 as listed above you can't join the military in any case. If you're younger and have a significan heart disease you are unlikely to be accepted for any branch of the service.
