Hello... I am interested in a career in the special forces community perticularly the US Navy SEAL's. I am a 16 year old high school student and have a major shoulder problem. I dislocated my shoulder 8 times during a football game and other activities. I have had 2 surgeries on the area and am still expeirencing some instability. Though my condition is improving, is there any disqualifying posibilities i should know about, or am i good to go???

im pretty sure they'll let you in, but its gonna be hard with a bad shoulder.
I had a tough time in wrestling with my bad shoulder. (i dislocated it, but didnt tell my coach because i wouldnt be allowed to wrestle.)
i toughed it up and continued, but thats only 2 hours a day, SEAL training is much tougher and strenous.
