Newbie:
PF takes time to heal. The specific amount of time will depend on the extent of your PF, how you are treating it, and your recovery plan. I will tell you for certain that it isnt going to heal as long as you are continuing to train on it, in fact it will get worse as time goes on.
Furthermore, you will not be able to enlist with a non-resolved case of PF, if you are honest on your med screening and/or your DD form 2707/2808. Reading a bit here will reveal how the vast majority of us feel about lying about pre-existing disqualifying medical conditions...I assure you it isnt favorable.
All that being said, you should see a podiatrist -if you arent seeing one now- for treatment and follow their advice to the letter. It is going to put you on your ass for a bit, but its better 3-6 months now than 2-3 years later.
HTH,
