I can't emphasize this enough, for all wannabe recruits,
DON'T LIE ABOUT MINOR PROBLEMS WHEN ENLISTING!!!!
These problems may be a pain to deal with in that they require some time and additional paperwork. But KW, the problems you outline are insignifant in the long haul. The potential consequences if you are discovered to be lying could be much more serious to your time in the Army.
I have at times told potential recruits not to admit to past problems where those problems weren't in any way documented. In this case maybe they won't find out about the previous problems with your hand, either by not noticing the scar or by not doing x-rays. However, if you lie about it and they do discover there could be consequences during your enlistment process or after you actually get in.
Based on what you have told us this injury should have no long term effect on your service. Any short term effects can be dealt with over time and by getting the proper paperwork. Lying about something so trivial can have more lasting effects on your career.
DON'T LIE!!!!
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

| Ok I want to know if its possible for them to find out you have smoked weed when you were a teenager (not saying I have) if you have NEVER been caught. Can they find out if you have fractured your wrist if you have been to the doctor once for a x-ray over 8 years ago but never had a cast put on.

As a Recruiter I can tell you that the broken hand is no big deal. Im not sure how the MEPS your going to is, but the one where Im at will DQ you faster than anything. The Possesion charge is no big deal just alittle more paperwork for the Recruiter. But the broken hand, let the Dr at MEPS find it. If you tell him, you could get TDQ (temp DQ) and you'll have to go to another doctor and it will take that much longer to get in. But good luck bro.
