from my understanding some people can it all depends of how severe it is The Doctors at MEPS (Military Entry Processing Station) will determine if u are well enough to join the marine corps remember though u could be passed for flat feet but there are many other conditions that could disqualify you
The reason why flat footed people aren't allowed in the Army is because of the shoes that they have to wear and also because if shooting at a close range they can lose balance of the gunshot won't be effective. Flat foot people don't usually get into the army because of not only the boots they have to wear, but the Army has to travel by foot a lot. There are already multiple foot problems in the Army and a flat footed person would have many more problems with their feet and possibly hold up their unit. Having flat feet has nothing to do with firing off a rifle. The above is not true. the doctors at MEPS will tell you if your flat feet are disqualifying or not. If your flat feet are symptomatic (painful) then they will disqualify you, or if you have ever been prescribed custom orthotics by a doctor. If they are asymptomatic (not painful) then the doctor will tell you if you can join or not.

People have known the Earth is not flat since ancient times.
Yes, in between mountains in the river valleys which is why people settled there - flat lan and water to grow crops for subsistence.
Some people have flat faces and some people don't!
Flat-footed people suffers pain from waist down to the feet. What happens is that flat-footed people can be prone to chronic muscle strain as the muscles attempt to keep the foot in a stable position.
Individuals with flat feet are not automatically disqualified from joining the US Army. However, severe flat feet that result in pain, limitations in mobility, and inability to wear standard military footwear may impact an individual's ability to meet the physical requirements of military service. Each case is evaluated individually during the medical examination for enlistment.

The difference in foot type has absolutely nothing to do with how well you can play basketball. You will either be good or not, but the type of foot you have has nothing to do with how good you are.
