Find answers to your legal question.





Can I join the Army if my jaw pops when I open it?

I think I might have TMJ, which is a disorder of the jaw ,but I was planning on joining the army. Can I still join even if I have TMJ??

Go to your local dentist or oral surgeon for an evaluation. If he says no, don't bring it up at your MEPS physical. If it should ever occur during your time in the military, just tell them you've never had the problem before.

Remember, MEPS will disqualify you for virtually anything, don't help them DQ you.

PS: You WON'T get a dishonorable discharge for possible TMJ.

Like the above person said you will need to disclose it to your recruiter in order to see if it is disqualifying or if you just need a medical waiver approved first. Your recruiter can run it past the medical section at the MEPS with any associated medical documents you have to go with it. Best of luck to you

You do have TMJ. If you dont disclose it at MEPS and they find it in your x-rays at boot camp then you could get DD.
