I tore my ACL in the start or August, i was supposed to report to RI beggining of October. I have talked to my recruiter, she said aslong as surgery goes smoothly along with rehab i just have to go back to MEPS to get medically cleared. It is looking like I will be medically cleared by my surgeon and physical therapists March 1st 2008 which will be 6 months post surgery. But i will need to wear a knee brace for physical activity for some time after March 1st. I was leaning towards waiting some time after March of 08 to get back into better shape as i was before tearing my ACL.
My question is do they allow knee braces at OCS?
And if they do will there be times when i will get pulled out of bed, class, lunch etc. and be forced to run and not have time to put my knee brace on?
The possiblity of that last question and the rigors of OCS makes me want to wait longer before i report.
Anyone who has some input on this or has gone through OCS and can you lend some experience to help me out with these questions. Thanks.
