I’m a sophomore in high school, and i’ve been having back pain for about 8 months, and i’m in physical therapy right now. They say that I have too much curvature in the bottom of my spine, but that I can fix it with the therapy. If I get it back to normal, can I still join the Marines when i’m older?

They will take your age into account, your currant status and the MOS you are considering Devil Pup! If all is well and you have no issues now, you are upfront and honest with your medical history the Corpsmen will have to check it out. They will take everything into account, don’t give up hope just yet, you would be squared away I am sure!

Yes you can. However, you will receive an extensive physical before joining.
