Can you be disqualified at MEPS for having an allergy to nickel?

Navy Meps is it possible to be disqualified for...?

  • I'm going to take my physical at meps next week. My question is, should I still disclose the fact that I got a broken arm when I was a kid, since meps job is to disqualify you. I've told my recruiter about this and it's on the prescreen medical sheet, but the thing is that, there is no record of my broken bone in my medical record. If there is no record then should I ask my recruiter to redo my pre medical screen sheet and say no to broken bones when I go to meps? It was a regular fracture and didn't get any pins. I've been in numerous sports, like tae kwon do, boxing, kickboxing and never had a problem with my bone. I've even done 800 push ups while trying to get to a 1,000. Thanks in advance.

  • Answer:

    Unless the arm is currently giving you problems, or if you're unable to perform the required movements, you'll be fine.

Do not lie or withold information from MEPS.. It is punishable under the UCMJ. You will not be disqualified for this. I broke my arm when I was younger and MEPS did not care... It just has to be recorded in your file.

As long as it wasn't within te last few years you should be fine. And yes you need to leave on your sheet or that would be lying an would get you in a lot of trouble

No, you won't get disqualified. I've broken both my arms and made it through meps, even with the records for both incidents lost. Do not lie! That will cause you a lot of trouble if you're caught, maybe even preventing you from joining the navy.

MEPS job is not to DQ people its job is to put the best product possible into the military. Most of the people that are DQ/drop from basic are because they lied to to MEPS..................

It is NOT MEPS job to Disqualify you... It is their job to make sure you are "Medically Fit for Duty" !!!! If it is already on your Pre Screen it cannot be Removed...Ever !!!! It shouldn't be a problem...
