No it will not make you permanently unfit to join the army. U can do all possible physical activities after proper rehab. Though the surgery doesn't make you immune to any further injury to Your ACL or other ligaments.
Next Steps
If u have an ACL injury, then consult an orthoapedic sports medicine or sports injury surgeon.
