I'm prior service and at age 42, I'm very excited to be comming back to the army (I hope).
I've done all the initial paperwork for the recruiter, and after seeing that I've had several bone breaks, some minor arthroscopic knee ligament repair, and an x ray once showed that my bottom back vertabrae had fractured when I was a teenager even though i never felt it, he asked for additional medical records. I also have some hearing loss, but only in the 4000 hz frequency.
Will MEPS care that I have had several broken bones and a minor knee surgery, as long as they have no impact on my physical abilities or range of motion.
By no impact on physical abilities, I mean that I can still complete all Airborne and Ranger fitness requirments and I run 140 miles per month.
Also from what I've read having some loss in 4000 hz range prob makes me have what they call H2 hearing.
Is H2 hearing acceptable or liklely waiverable (the rest of my frequencies are very good).
The last of my medical records should be in within a few days, so I guess I'll get a Meps Date soon after that and know for sure.
Just wanting a heads up, if any of you have any info to share. Thx
