Has the OP seen a doctor regarding his injury?by virtue of current diagnosis, or for which the candidate has a verified
past medical history.
Frenzy, the OP NOW has a verified PAST MEDICAL HISTORY (do you have now or have you ever had....), it does not matter whether or not he has seen a doctor. I agree 100% with cb7893. When you have a shoulder dislocation "pop right back in" you know it and there is no question about it. It's a very painful and obvious injury that anyone, even without a medical degree can determine, even the OP. And I have a feeling he knows it too, but does not want to face the reality. I can understand him trying to rationalize it, but as for you, you know all too well that there is no mistaking such an injury. In another post you said you were DQ'd for a minor subluxation for which you did not have surgery nor physical therapy and have no issues. You maxed out on your CFA and played football and basketball without a hint of problem and you were still DQ'd. The reality is, the OP had a dislocation, even if minor, and just because he did not see a doctor and decides not to report it to DodMERB, it doesn't mean it did not happen.
To the OP: the reason you are even asking this question tells us all that you know that you may be DQ'd because of it and you are having a hard time dealing with that reality.We can all understand that, Frenzy more that anyone, but the right thing to do is report any change to DodMERB. If you are DQ'd and you are competitive enough, a waiver will be requested and you can go from there. No one will ever fault you for doing the right thing and it takes courage to do that in the face of a decision that will affect the rest of your life. I think you did the right thing by contacting DoDMERB and asking them. They will guide you down the right path. Please let us all know what happens and please don't take my next comment to be flippant because I mean it with the most sincere sentiment, if it takes a year and you have to reapply, you will have a great subject to write about for your essay. I wish you best of luck, but I have confidence that you will shine no matter what.
