Please help with info on medical question

I recently had my PCL ligament in my knee replaced but will be 100% in august of 2009. However, i am worried this might disqualify my from ranger school if not the army in general. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

I would have to look up ligament replacement as a disqualifier, but best case it is deifinetly a medical waiver. This alone is probably going to kill your chances of an option 40.

Rnager hit_it, a recruiter on the goarmy.com website told me it would likely come down to if it hurt when I performed strenuous tasks. I'm doing my best to find out. I'm going to try to get my parents to sign off on a physical by an army doctor in a few months when I'm full strength.
