I was just reading up some information about military policy throughout the various branches (I haven't decided on one yet), and I read something about the "regimental surgeon" setting certain policies in special ops about what past surgeries are allowed, and which are not. I have, in my past, had metal rods put into one of my legs and one side of my hip. Now, I'm physically capable of running and whatever else is required of me, no question...but could the fact that I've got this on my medical record end up disqualifying me from advancing in certain ways in the US Military?

Thanks.
 
When you go to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) they will give you a physical. You have to have doctor records and hospital records with you and make sure you have some kind of doctor's clearance so they will know if you are capable of doing things in the military. If you don't have it, they will send you home. It is a very good possibility you may get disqualified though. But whatever happens, good luck.
