My boyfriend wants to join the army and he has a heart murmmer. he is 22 and has a person coming over to talk about enlisting friday i hope and pray that his heart murmmer wont let him join because i dont want him to go. but i was wondering if anybody knows if he will be able to or not....

I have a heart murmer and I live an ordinary life. Nothing stops me as far as I'm concerned.

Yes the murmur will prevent him from entering the military unless he does not list it as a medical condition. This year alone my unit has already had 2 people honorably booted due to heart murmur. It does not matter the severity of the condition.
