Medical Eligibility request

Kamil Olbrycht made this Freedom of Information request to Royal Navy This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Navy,
I have just learned that I might not be able to join the royal navy due to my Scheuremann's disease. This is due to the fact that I have a surgery scheduled at the end of this year, and it's confusing that the fact that I can go into the navy with Scheuremann's disease, but if I get spinal surgery to treat the condition, I will be barred from entry.

What I am trying to request is to see if there is still a way to join the Royal Navy if I have a spinal surgery for Scheuremann's disease.

Yours faithfully,
Kamil.
