Always lie kid.

YES = Your Enlistment Ends

NO = New Opportunities

Really? I'm told so much shit, if I get an XRAY in the future of my upper body for some reason, they'll see the plastic attachments in my shoulder. What if I decide the make this a career? It could absolutely fuck me.

Fact is, I do not want to be sent packing up shit creek with a dishonorable discharge on my record.

only if you're desperate
but there's a 99% chance your shoulder will be fucked up for life if you continue

i should mention I'm an x-ray tech at the VA

But my shoulder is fine now, I'm back to lifting heavy and everything I was before. It was an injury due to BJJ and me not tapping.

Only if I'm desperate I should do what?

I have scoliosis but it is so mild that it's hardly noticeable and X-ray says no abnormal curvature should I not tell recruiter or mess due to having to get a waiver for a ear surgery I had

*meps ^^

Just bumping for further input, I've heard the YES and NO acronyms before. I have had recruiters in person tell me say no to everything and yes to just the slap tear and hope for a waiver.

I'm honestly looking for input, VA Xray tech has me confused with the "only if you are desperate" line. Only if I am desperate I should lie about both, or just about the kidney stone? Or just joining the military period?

I'm obviously leaning towards trying for a waiver for the slap and keeping my trap shut about the kidney stone, but would really like more opinions. The reason I want to mention the slap is if I decide I want to make a career out of it (if I get in), I would not want to get completely fucked in the future by a simple XRAY and telling a lie. Whereas if I just say NO, I can play russian roulette and pray I never get an XRAY and nothing ever happens.

Just tell the truth.

They have standards for a reason.

if you don't have metal in your body, missing organs, or visible scares, it's always NO!
I had a double hernia operation at the age of 2 and there was no hiding those scares, so I told them, nobody gave it a second thought.

DELET THIS

I understand, I'm leaning heavily towards telling the truth regarding a slap tear. I see no reason to add in the kidney stone since it was one in 26 years.

Sadly, I have plastic anchors in my shoulder so there is no hiding it if there is an Xray or MRI in the future.
