Only if you're somehow able to get a medical waiver.
No. It is possible that if you are the only son, and the draft were reinstated, under Army policy you could receive a waiver. This however does not apply to enlistment as I am an only son and served.
AF Form 469 is not correct. The AF Form 469 is used to document what duty restrictions an AF member has due to a medical condition as defined by a medical provider but shaving waivers are explicitly not allowed to be documented on the AF Form 469. A shaving waiver must be documented on a seperate form and this waiver can only be written a medical provider. The Local Medical Treatment Facility is responsible for setting up their local policy. Here is the kicker. Even though a Doctor gives a member a shaving waiver this is only a "medical recommendation" and the members Unit Commander has the final approval authority. In addition the waiver can not be "permanent" and the patient must be evaluated hands on.
I believe it is called Unilateral Renal Agenesis.
Only your state DMV can answer this question. If there is any doubt on your part you should go prepared with a waiver signed by a medical doctor giving you medical clearance.
Renal Suppression (kidney + to stop) is a condition where the kidney has stopped functioning, or is only making a minimal amount of urine. This leads to kidney failure and uremia.
If you have an RE-4 reentry code, the most likely answer is no. However, only an actual recruiter can tell you for certain if you can be brought in with a waiver or not.
Only if there is an overstay issue. If its just regular consular processing, there is no need for a waiver.
Liam Payne had to undergo numerous medical treatments and injections as a child because he was born three weeks premature and had a kidney condition that required ongoing medical care. For more insights and updates, click the link in the bio.
Yes, a person can live a healthy life well into their 90s with only one kidney. Many individuals are born with one kidney or have one removed due to medical reasons and still lead normal, fulfilling lives. The remaining kidney typically compensates for the loss by increasing its function. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper hydration and diet, is essential for kidney health.
Usually the waiver only reduces the excess you pay.
Your medical information is private, and as such, should only be divulged to Army Medical staff or relevant personell as this may effect your viability to perform tasks.
