Heart murmur, could it prevent me from getting into the Air Force?

Published

I've been to several doctors in the past and one told me that I had a small heart murmur. I want to go into the Air Force as a nurse. Could this prevent me from getting in?

Potentially yes, it could disqualify you. You will have to be evaluated to see if it affects you physically, and it will likely require a waiver regardless.
