Hello aspirant,
In general, anyone with a persistent endocrine condition—like hypothyroidism that necessitates hormone replacement—is deemed ineligible to enlist in the military.
A thyroidectomy is likely to result in a temporary or permanent rejection (unfit status) in the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) and general Armed Forces medical examinations, even if medication is being used to maintain stable, normal hormone levels (euthyroid state).
Thank you
