            I'd imagine anything that precludes your ability to perform the role to which you apply for.

            Look up the medical standards.
            If you have to do it, you always have to do it right. Either it makes a difference, or it’s good practice so that when it does make a difference, it gets done right.

                        Both are instant disqualifiers. The medical questionnaire specifically asks about asthma and if you've ever had bronchitis. People I know have failed to get in because of asthma, hammer toes, fluid on the knee and a cut on the face caused by a slip of a boning knife.

                          schizophrenia- a mental disorder. It difficult for a person to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses to others, and to behave normally in social situations. As the illness progresses, psychotic symptoms develop such as

                          Delusions - false beliefs or thoughts with no basis in reality
                          Hallucinations - hearing, seeing, or feeling things that are not there
                          Disordered thinking - thoughts "jump" between completely unrelated topics (the person may talk nonsense)
                          Catatonic behavior - bizarre motor behavior marked by a decrease in reactivity to the environment, or hyperactivity that is unrelated to stimulus
                          Flat affect - an appearance or mood that shows no emotion
                          That describes most soldiers of my aquaintance.

                          NB- People with the ability to actually spell Skitzofrenia are suitable for service at sea only.

                            Any illness you have will disqualify you.........ANY!!!
                            Facts are meaningless - you could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
