Sgt Grit Marine Forums

I enlisted  a little over 2 years ago and for reasons I'm not at all proud of got an entry level seperation from Parris Island. My 2 year wait is finally up and Im readdy to go back and do it right. However, this past winter I fractured 3 Transverse Process (L2-L4), which is small peice of vertabre for those unfamiliar with the injury. Although not seriouse ( I made a full recovery in 6 weeks ) I was wondering if this was the type of injury that disqualify me for reenlistment. Anyone with any info, Ide really appreciate it. Ide like to find out here before asking my recruiter, although i'm sure they'll tell me it fine anyway, I don't want to find out its not OK and be seperated again.

Generally, fractures require medical letter/release from the physician/doctor. You can, however, provide the medical documentation to the recruiters and they can request the MEPS medical review the documentation before you attempt to enlist. This would save you and the recruiters loads of time if you are determined to be ineligible.
