    Spleen parshel removel and don't know if can join marines
    I have a problem with my body I don't know what exactly its called but I know what's wrong so... my bone marrow that produces blood produces it to fast so my blood cells come out to quickly and haven't matured in this case my spleen(it takes out the used/bad/old blood cells) tries to get rid of them since it thinks there bad. I went into surgery for it when I was about 10 and I have been never better since. On the other part my mom hates me saying I'm going into the marines but I want to REALLY bad like since I was 13 and I am going to join when I'm out of high school (im a sophomore in high school) and so I don't know when she says the won't recruit me since my medical condition that she is scared of me going in or that I actually cant.

    My doctors said I am fine to do sports and do physical activities and it shouldn't hold me back, I played soccer from the surgery till high school then I started wrestling and I am pretty healthy

    I can also retrieve blood transfussions just can't give them

    I was wondering if you know for sure (100%) if I can do marines or if it's a no go and also what about my mom to if any input about that

    The only person who can give you a real answer is a recruiter & even then, you can't fully trust ANY recruiter because their job is to sell you on joining, their job depends on it. They'll string you along saying "Yeah yeah i think that maybe I can get you in. Youll need a waiver though". That's the key word right there: WAIVER, specifically a medical waiver. That's you answer. Take it from a guy who knows about shady Marine recruiters & needing a medical waiver!
