View Full Version : Will I be disqualified?
I'm 20 years old and desperatly desire to be a Navy Seal. I have only one hick-up, when I was about 14 I messed up my knee and had to have an ACL replacement. They took part of the ligiment that attaches your knee cap to your shin to do the replacement and set it with two titanium screws. I have no physical disabalities what so ever from this but am not sure if I would even be considered for a Seal let allone any other Special Forces. Any Seal out there that knows the answer please reply (the recruiters are kind of flaky on this one).

Hey im not a SEAL but kinda in the same boat with vision but if i was you i would call BUDS medical ive talked to them about getting rid of shin splints ahh but he was alot of help. (619) 437-0777 thay are really hard to get a hold of i got in touch with them at 10 or 11 one day but anything after that i was never able to get in touch with them. And by the way i was calling colorado so im not sure what time zone your in. Good luck
This would have to go straight to the NSW recruiter - Chief Mike Getka (619) 437-5009 (getkam@navsoc.navy.mil). Personally I think it will be a problem - but I could be wrong.
