I am in the process of enlisting in the Army. I too have extensive scars, and yes they make us strip down for the physical...I know I cannot hide mine and my recruiter already knows about them [they are on both my arms, and darn near impossible to hide without sleeves]. I haven't made it to MEPS yet, all I have done is taken my ASVAB. But my recruiter is having me collect my records, which sucks..but I was honest with him because I can't find any other way to explain it than psychologically. He is currently optimistic and so am I. I feel that I have time on my side.
Good Luck
