I was entry level separated from Marine Corps boot camp because of knee entry (got RE-3F.) What are my chances of a waiver for the Army?

Jon Ragland You're going to need med docs regarding the injury. Anything that shows it has been corrected & is not an issue any more. Most importantly, you're going to need a KICK ASS recruiter - one that won't vanish at the first sign of difficulty getting you in. You're going to have to get a waiver just to go to MEPS to see if you can get a med waiver to get in.

Get all the medical documents you can from your knee injury. You’ll also be required to be seen by a civilian doctor. If your knee is completely healed and you get a clearance letter from your doctor, it will require a waiver for you to come in, but your chances should be decent. Go talk to your local Army recruiting station to start the process.

Better question is, why would the Army want you? What do you bring to the table? Why should a Recruiter invest time into you?
