Hello, I am a 19 year old male. I am here to ask to if I will get disqualified because of my medical condition. I am missing an index and a pinky in my right hand. I would like to state that I am able to do anything (eg. rock climbing, lifting). I was born with it, no accident.

However, on the website it says “loss of a finger” ==> example of inaptitude. So should I give it a try or is it clearly stating I am not allowed to join? Thank you

I woukd think it would disqualify you butttt there is only one way to find out and that is to turn up and see what they say.

This is a wind up, so I stick 2 fingers up to you so you can jog on buddy, and will ignore future content on this topic.
Of course it's a wind up. Until he can show us a photo, I won't waste my time.

Forget the Legion or military mate, I dont think you will pass any medical for any military. Unfortunately thats the reality of the situation.
Yes.. Agree with you. He could maybe Send pictures to them asking. Save a journey. However doubt He has any chance.

I`s say you have zero chance of getting in the Legion , if you got into any military it would most likely be in a clerical role, your only other option maybe to pay and get trained in close protection and the likes and try to find work in that field , or maybe go to Israel and do national service if they`ll accept you .

You are born that way? As everyone told you, you can't join any "normal" army. Only way for you is if some nasty war breaks out and everyone is in dire need for men. Otherwise look for another option.

Yes, legion takes all kinds of men, but they are usually tolerant to some of mental disabilities and deviations (gonna be hated for this one. :)). Physically you have to be good. Not perfect, but good.
