Joining the military with only one kidney?
Find answers to your legal question.

I'm a girl and I'm looking to join any military branch, but I only have one kidney. is there any sort of waiver I could get or anything that would allow me enlist?

If I got it taken off my med records that I was born with one kidney, do they do any tests when you join that would show it otherwise?

You cannot even join the guard with this condition!!

Don't do it, you will get caught eventually. Look into what fraudulent enlistment can get you. You cannot just alter your medical records to show a condition does not exist. When you go get your medical records you are getting a copy, that's it.

The poster who said he could donate was already in....BIG difference! There are tons of conditions that you cannot get in with, but if you develope them later you can stay in as long as you can perform your duties.

may want to look into, i was told i could donate a kidney to my cousin. they said i may have to go through a medical board and make sure i can still do my job.
