medical question

Quick question, on the medical. Would having one kidney stop me being eligible to join?

Hopefully you have come to a solid answer within the last few months.

If not, go talk to a recruiter they should be able to give you an idea or at the very least point you in the direction of someone who has it.

I can see it being an issue depending on branch/trade but who knows right?

A few discussions you may find of interest. As always, best to contact Recruiting.

All depends on why and if there are any other underlying problems that could affect that one kidney.  Needs to be discussed with your Recruiting Medical Staff.

I donated a kidney in 2003, and enlisted in 2008.  Results may vary from person to person.
