I was born with a medical condition called Gastrocous (SP). Gastrocous is basicaly when I was born alot of my insides were on the outside. Of course they were put back in and everything. The only concern I have is that my insides arnt in the same order as everyones else and also I have a huge scar. Would this effect my chances in gettin in the army rangers or anyother elite or special forces groups?

Apprentice,

I'm doing some research as to the possibility (or need) of waiver for Gastroschisis. Have you spoken with a recruiter or anyone else to start the information process? I'll post back in this thread when and if I find something.
