A member asked:
What happens if i have pars defect, spondylothesis and scoliosis can i still join the marines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: There is usually a problem with physical activity and defects of spine. Current or history of spondylolysis (congenital or acquired) and spondylolisthesis (congenital ( or acquired) are disqualifying for armed forces. Scoliosis with lumbar curvature greater than 20 degrees is disqualifying.
