Can you join the military if you have PKD?


Can you join the military if you have PKD?I am a very healthy 20 year old guy. The thing is i found out a few months ago that i have very early stage polycystic kidney disease. Currently it has no effect on me and shouldnt for 20 + years. My question is would the army turn me down because of the pkd?

You should be ok just don't tell your recruiter. I researched it for awhile and you should be good, I wish you the best of the military.
