Labral Tear Waiver is Possible
As all of you read through this old thread, I just wanted to provide support that a labral tear waiver is possible. When our son was 14 he had a four wheeler accident that broke his leg and shoulder. During his 2010 senior year of football, he found out he tore his labrum and was facing another round of surgery. He ended up having the surgery in November 2010 and it included the insertion of two anchors and repair of the rotator cuff. The surgery did require that he miss his senior year of baseball, but that was a decision that he was willing to make.
He finally got his medical clearance in March 2011 and in April, received his DoDMERB clearance. He is now enrolled and ready for I-day Class of 2015. He reports June 30, 2011.
