Will I be disqualified from joining the Army if i have torn my ACL twice?
Find answers to your legal question.

I tore my ACL last year during a football game, i had surgery and i have just really got my knee back to normal. But then last week i was in lacrosse practice and i was hit, my knee bended very awkwardly. It felt like the first time i tore my ACL. I'm getting an MRI in a couple days.
But i would like to know if i would have any problems with joining.
Btw my main goal is to become a Ranger in the Army

When I have seen lacrosse players tear their ACL, they have not been able to walk off the field on their own and have gone to the emergency room and gotten an MRI that day. Once it is healed, it should not prevent you from joining. A kid I know tore his during a lacrosse game in 10th and could not play football or lacrosse his entire Junior year. He received offers of an LOA appointment to usafa, usma and usna. Hope everything is ok.
Good Luck!

I can not believe ive found another person with the exact same question as me. I've torn it twice and still want to join the military.
