My 18 year old daughter is considering joining the Navy, quite a surprise to us. She had spontaneous pneumothorax ( a spontaneous collapsed lung) at 14, will they take her, anyone know?

No body knows for sure. It really depends on various medical factors. I would start by checking with the recruiters.

Good luck to her!

Not sure how accurate this is...

Lungs, chest wall, pleura, and mediastinum

Quote:
Current or history of pneumothorax (512) occurring during the year preceding examination, if due to trauma or surgery or occurring during the 3 years preceding examination from spontaneous origin, is disqualifying Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax (512) is disqualifying.
Hmmm... she also has bad migraines...
