This has never caused any problems.. In fact I didn't know it until recently. I had some x-rays done when I went to the dr and in passing he said something about how I had a slight curvature in my spine.. but it wasn't anything to worry about and that many people have one as slight as mine.

I leave for boot camp in 13 days and I know they do chest x-rays, when they see the slight curve will they choose to get rid of me?
 
Not sure what it is like now, but when I went in, if a guy had one leg shorter than the other, the doc would just grab him by the shoulders, stand him straight, and pronounce him fit for duty.
That was the days before the fat man program. You had height and weight requirements, but not like today.
you would need to get with a recruiter and find out the exact requirements, or get online and research it.
No doubt the Army has the exact medical requirements online.
What branch of service are you going in?
If you go marines, you have to be in pretty good shape, but the first thing they do when you get to boot camp after your hair cut is open your skull and scoop out the majority of your brain.
QUESTION:
How do you knock out a marine?
Answer:
Throw sand on the wall, and tell him to hit the beach.....:)
Have a nice day......and thanks for serving, whatever branch you are in.
