Metal Camping Plates
I' thinking about joining the military, but I want to check on a few things first.and I have some questions.

Here are some details on me
-I am still pretty young (21) and single
-I am healthy (as far as I know) and I would say I am in fairly good shape
- I have no criminal record and I am currently an Aux. Policemen for my hometown
-I have no history of mental illness, but I have seen counselsors briefly before for troubles in school (once in 4th grade and once in 9th). They were basically to check to see if I was okay and nothing bad came from it. Nonetheless I have had never had a mental illness or condition. Seeing counselsors in the past does not keep you from joing right?
-I do not take any medications. I have only taken one medication and that was for ance.
-I have had jaw surgery when I was 12 to fix an underbit and still have a metal plate in my jaw. Can I still join with this?
-Sometimes my right elbow clicks when I do push ups for tricep excercies (but it does not hurt as all). Can this be bad for boot camp?

Sounds like you will do fine in the military.

"Seeing counselsors in the past does not keep you from joing right?" You still can join....might take a waiver.

"I have had jaw surgery when I was 12 to fix an underbit and still have a metal plate in my jaw. Can I still join with this?" You can still join.....again might take a waiver.

"Sometimes my right elbow clicks when I do push ups for tricep excercies (but it does not hurt as all). Can this be bad for boot camp?" Yes you can join....basic will insure you stretch enough and the more pushups you do, you will get stronger and the clicks will go away. I had the same problem with my shoulder.

I appreciate you sacrifices in joining our military and wish you good luck at what ever you do.

Army Strong!
