Really?! I had no idea it was that serious. Even though I didn't have the hernia at the time, I went through Air Assault a month or so back with no problems whatsoever. At my unit I'm sitting in an Airborne slot, and I was really looking forward to going, and I still really want to, but I don't want permanently injuring myself and I especially don't want to put my life at risk over a hernia.
What if the pain goes away and it heals? Or, what if I get the surgery and it works? I'm 21 years old, I still have many years left in me! Thanks so much for your replies; like I said, I expected to get replies telling me to suck it the hell up. I had no idea this was so bad...
