Can degenerative disk diseas stop you from being in the army?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: It depends on extent/severity, location, and if any functional impact. There are (limited) circumstances when a waiver can be obtained--either for you or by you (first is to get you in despite problem, second is you acknowledging its existence and remaining responsible for it if it deteriorates). No harm speaking with a recruiter who can get you more information on your specific situation. Hoo-ah.
