Meps question

[Bradleyv615]

In fall 2019 I broke my collarbone and later found i also tore my labrum at the same time. I had to have surgery on my labrum but the collarbone healed on its own. My usmc recruiter told me to lie lie lie at meps and I dont feel comfortable with it. Are there waivers for these and if so how hard are they to get?
I would also like to add that my shoulder is stronger than it has ever been and can keep up with my right arm even with me bring right handed.

There's never any room for lying
USMC is always very reluctant to waiver shoulder issues

Don't lie.

I am going to assume you misunderstood your recruiter.

Answer each question fully and truthfully. There is no expectation or obligation to embellish or add color to your answers.

As a side note, MEPS is for enlisting into the USMC and not part of the Officer accession process.
