Pierre Robin Syndrome and the Marines.?

Question

I just got a call from my Recruiter today and evidently I can't physical because I have Pierre Robin Syndrome. I can run a sub par 20 min. 3 mile run, do 20 pull-ups, etc. Anything physically they ask of me I would be able to do, realistically. I guess my question is... Can they actually prevent me from joining the Marines because it's a tad bit harder to understand my speech then others? My recruiter can understand me just fine by the way.

Answer 1

It is grossly unfair, however they can refuse to accept you if they feel you do not meet their standards.
