What disqualifies you from joining the military? Like what medical disorders?Will bowed legs disqualify you, or knee deformity?

yes

Yes. Any kind of noticeable muscular or bone deformity, asthma, color blindness (sometimes), anybody with a history of surgeries for something. Many many things can disqualify you.

You might be able to get a waiver if the condition is relatively mild, but otherwise yes those are disqualifying traits.

Alright, true story. My Commander walks funny and we asked him one day, "Sir, what's up?"
He was like "I wore braces as a kid."
I did the Forrest Gump voice and said "Momma called these my magic shoes, she said they'd take me anywhere."
My commander has a sense of humor.
This is best left to your recruiter and remember, only a MEPS doctor can disqualify you, not a bunch of dudes (and ladies) on Yahoo!
That is unless you have severe polio and are confined to a wheelchair, or your knee deformity is that there is nothing below the knees. Then you can pretty much rule out not only the military, but a lot of other things.

Google AR 40-501 and read Chapter 2. That is the medical standard for enlistment.
