Push-ups at OCS

Can you do them on your knuckles instead? I broke my wrist a little over a year ago, and it never healed right. Now it can't fully bend back anymore. Pull-ups are no problem, and doing push-ups on my knuckles is no problem either.

I would've gone to the hospital but I don't have health insurance, and couldn't pay for it. Also I wasn't aware that it was broken, thought it was just severely sprained so tried to tough it out. On top of that I didn't want anything on my medical history that'd hold me back. Now I'm sitting here a year later and it still won't bend back without pain.

If an instructor at OCS saw a candidate doing push-ups on his knuckles instead of hands would he intervene? Or just think that candidate is trying to act tough?

I'm gonna get it fixed eventually, but I'm really busting ass to get myself to Quantico next summer.

-Thanks

They'll realize it real quickly. You'll look extremely out of place.

1. Did you disclose this at MEPS?
2. Does you OSO know about this?

jesus dude, you had 77 for your OAR? that is very far to the right of the bell curve. good job.

Gotta go with that this guy is saying ... I think you are probably better off disclosing this sooner rather than later ... I'm not sure what the implications would be at this point in time but better to find out here rather than at OCS... where I imagine they just send you packing.
