A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you have basal cell nevus syndrome, does that prevent you from joining the military?

Probably : The military examiners make that call but with basal nevus syndrome you are already prone to bce skin cancer. With the expected intense sun exposure required in military life, this inborn tendency will only be worsened.
