Can You Join the Army While Having Hypertension?

I am considering joining the armed forces. Preferably the marines or something of that nature. I suffer from genetic hypertension. I am just wondering if it is possible for somebody like me is able to join the army with this condition. I take daily medication to solve my high blood pressure.

Can anyone tell me how can portal hypertension lead to encephalopathy?
Also what tests are used to diagnose encephalopathy?
Are there any changes specific for it on eeg,mri or pet scans?
Can encephalopathy still be there with normal mri/nonspecific test findings but having the clinical presentation?
Are there any blood/urine tests helpful in diagnosis
