A member asked:
Can you join the marine corps if you have lupus/rheumatoid arthritis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not.: You would best speak with a marine recruiter for the answer. My guess is these diseases would disqualify the affected individual from serving.

NO: Standards show that both conditions are clearly disqualifying. "current or history of lupuserythematosus (710.0) or mixed connective tissue disease variant (710.9 ) is disqualifying." &" current or history of rheumatoid arthritis (714.0) is disqualifying.".
