I have gotten it cleared for a DODMERB before, but I was not sure if i would fail the SF medical because of it. I am planning on getting it removed anyway, but I was curious as to whether or not I need to get it done prior to MEPS. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks.

Ask your primary Doc,, If it has given you problems in the past and the option is to have it out/off/lanced/drained, why wait..
My brother had his operated on when he was about 16, never came back.
On the flip side,, if it is a prehensile tail,, it could come in handy???
Good Luck...
