Thank you for the reply, that did at least change my outlook as to how I'm going to approach this issue. I haven't really considered removing the screw. I can't remember exactly what my orthopod said if anything about removing the screw. I run marathons on my ankle and this ankle has never given me any problem. Well until now that is. But I'm not in any immediate rush to getting a contract and shipping out. So it's something I would like to consult my orthopod about. Does anyone know how these procedures work?
My issue with this now is I have heard you need a 1111111 rating at MEPS to be considered for 18x program. Well this is what my recruiter has told me. Is a broken bone that required surgery going to change a one to a two? Even if that retained hardware was removed? I'm not sure how it works and at what point they start to having to fill out waivers. I would prefer it if I didn't have any waivers at all medically.
I have no intention of lying about any medical recordsI have had. I have only had two injuries. My ankle break and a shoulder injury, but the shoulder injury was just a little tear that I did some physical therapy and was a hundred percent good three weeks later. I would rather just give them all my information just to reduce any issue in my time in the Army.
I'm a little curious what MR2 was saying about draw-downs. Are these medical procedures that are currently in place at USAREC a way of limiting the amount of personnel that joins the Army? Looking at the date in the AR 40-501 it's latest update was 2011?
