Well, I served in a special unit 20 years back and I can guarantee you that uncle sam will not put down money in one's training if there's a risk down the line that an expensive trained asset cannot be utilized for the median length of a career. They have so many perfect applicants to choose from, they're not picking anyone with a spot in their papers

Having scoliosis as a kid will not prohibit you from any activity as a 30-40 year old adult if it isn't prohibiting you from the same activity as an 18 year old.

Most people who are diagnosed with mild pediatric scoliosis naturally grow out of the condition without any effect. The children with curves great enough where it can potentially affect their future performance can be corrected with orthotics solutions like a tlso. Children who present with curves greater than what can be treated with orthotics were never going to have the chance to join the military in the first place.
