Just want to leave an update for everyone who responded:

I went in today and talked with a Marine Corps recruiter about my possible enlistment. The "unwaiverable" form does include ulcerative colitis and chrons, but it does not say a history of either would disqualify me. And since I had the surgery, I do not have ulcerative colitis anymore. I am hoping I can get around this. As for having cancer, I am disqualified if the cancer took place anytime within the last 5 years, and after November I will be past my 5 years mark! I am meeting again tomorrow with the recruiter and we will be sending off my medical history charts to MEPS and I am praying they will pass me and allow me to enlist. Thank you for all the support to those of you who have responded!
