Hey everyone,
I posted a while back around August of last year saying that I had been rejected for SNA. I sent my application through again and was later pro-rec'd in December. I sent out my FINDOCS early February and am now eagerly awaiting word from the selection board.
Unfortunately, I recently injured my wrist and the diagnosis is that I completely tore a ligament in there and will need surgery to repair it. I've read through some old posts about "retained hardware" and past surgeries and it seems that if there are no complications from surgery (i.e. 100% motion after rehab), it may be possible to get a waiver for it.
My question is how do I go about handling this situation now? I haven't told my recruiter yet, but I no doubt will have to tell her when I hear whether or not I have been selected. This is all extremely disappointing and frustrating news, but there's no way I'm going to quit now. If anyone has gone through a similar situation or has any insight on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Jason
