childhood asthma that has resolved itself and not occured since the age of 13 or needed the assistance of an inhaled since the age of 13 does not need to be disclosed during the recruiting process. if you had even one asthma attack after 13 then it does. how do i know this....because i had allergic ...

if you want to be in mix of things you need to stay enlisted. like panterhsix stated, i also would recommend to start off in Regiment as a medic. doing this you'll go through the Special Operations Combat Medic course, SOCM, in which you'll be trained to roughly the same level as a 2-3rd year reside...

glad to hear something is working for you.

Wow! Thanks very much for the offer. I'm currently tying up some loose ends here in Raleigh, then I'll be heading up to Norfolk to a new job in the next couple of weeks. The knee seems stable, but it's gets sore if I run a few steps or walk too much. Think there is anything other than surgery? I'd l...

while i wouldn't rule out a partial lcl tear it sounds more like a meniscal impingement. basically a tear of your meniscus that rolled onto articular surfaces of the knee. the snap you felt would've been where the flap of meniscus either broke off completely from the rest or rolled back into place....

how long ago was your surgery? do you have any of your lateral meniscus left? as for the high impact stuff (running and rucking mainly) try and stay away from those for a little while. concentrate mainly on the elipitical and swimming if you can. if you feel you have to running try using a treadmil...

On May 15th last month I was running a 5km to celebrate or mark my 50th birthday. The first mile was a steep downhill. Something on the outside front near the head of the Fibula gave way near the end of mile 1. It felt unstable so I walked uphill back to the start line. I could not walk down stairs...

Got any advice for a torn LCL? The doc at the VA gave me some creme with Capsaicin in it to rub on it.... http://osteoarthritis.about.com/od/painrelief/a/capsaicin.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; how long ago did you tear it? is it a complete tear or partial tear? how d...

ok, so now that you have a list of things to do i have some questions for you.... how often does your knee swell? what's the pain level during running? do you have full extension and flexion of your knee or is it stopped prematurely anywhere (if in doubt compare with uninjured side)? is there any po...

ok, so good news is you can still do your job with your knee. we'll start with strengthening exercises, squats (light weight high reps), leg press, dead lifts, leg extensions, leg curls, typical leg stuff however keep in mind that exercises involving weight bearing directly to your knees (squats, ha...

oh hey, also i graduate SOCM tomorrow then start SFMS on monday. long break huh? haha. oh well, no rest for the weary and personally i can't wait to get the course over with and get out of bragg. haven't heard anymore about this issue but then, i've only been back from rotation for a week. i'll chec...

isn't PITA considered a terrorist group by today's standards? maybe we should act accordingly and do what we do best to terrorists.....just my two pennies.

take into account basic/ait (we'll do infantry for example 14 weeks), jump school 3 weeks, RIP 8 weeks now, so far we're at 25 weeks for training. and that's for an mos with a relatively short training period unlike medic which is 6 months for ait alone (not counting the additional requirement of so...

we all wanted to after we found out what happened. we knew he was coming but like i said, we were all too concerned with testing to care at the time. it wasn't til that evening that we found out what he did.
