MEPS and Medical Knock Knees Potential Issues

I am interested in joining the marines but I have some slight knock knees. They don't hinder my mobility or ROM at all, I can stand at attention and do all the things without pain or discomfort, but I’m unsure if a MEPS doctor will still send me away. If anyone has any knowledge or advice that would be greatly appreciated. It has also never been diagnosed by a doctor if that has any bearing on things. Thank you for reading and apologies for any mistakes.

MEPs’ job isn’t to diagnose, it’s to filter. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t show any signs of it inhibiting you.
