If your knee is the reason they can not put you straight into a job rfom boot camp then why would your knee not be a problem afterwards. Basically what I mean is if that job says that people with bad knees can not be in airborne there is no clause that says “until the graduate boot camp”. If anything your chances of getting it would be better now as you should be able to get a waiver for your knee providing its not that bad. Im sure you would have to get a exam from a doctor and document it and the such. Thats if they even give waivers for that job. Does that make sense? If not Ill try to explain it a lil better. It sounds to me he is telling you that to get you in the door then once your in someone else can tell you that you cant get in and he wont be around. Remember its his sole duty to RECRUIT members into the army. Just curious, have you talked to the Marine recruiter? ---

> [@slowcamaro](#): > > thats what you tell them you never had medical problems…period!!! wrong… what happens when that kid that has asthma lies about it then goes off to boot camp and has an attack. Ok the first time might not be bad but the 2nd time he dies… or the kid that broke his ankle a few years ago and it healed fine… now hes in boot camp… he brakes the same ankle by simply rolling it. NOW hes sitting in a MRP Platoon waiting to go back and complete training. Once he is healed he still ahs to wait for a platoon to pick him up. He could spend a year there total… no friends, no family, no nothing… just sitting at boot camp doing shitty jobs. Do NOT lie about past medical history. It’ll come out sooner then later. ---

If you lie about it, then get hurt they wont help you out. Trust me if you goto the VA seeking compensation they check everything. You should really quit giving false information. ---
