Hi,
My son, who will be a HS senior next year, met with the RO for an AROTC program. During the course of the discussion, he asked about any medical issues. My son told him that he has been wearing orthopedics for the past 4 years based on his doctor telling him that he a mild to moderate case of flat feet. The arches were designed to reverse the problem.
It should be noted my son has never experienced any pain or discomfort and runs everyday for football and wrestling.
The RO said it could potentially cause a problem, but not to worry at this point. He encouraged him to apply for both WP and ROTC based on his scores and GPA.
Does anyone know the medical standard for passing or failing if you have an issue with your arches?
Thanks for your help.
Bill
