Hello! I am on a Type 1 Scholarship for AFROTC. I am really banking on this scholarship to afford the expensive school I am going to, but more importantly, it has been my PASSION and BLAZE in my heart to serve ever since I was a boy. I'm just worried that if they disqualify me for having flat feet, I'll be broken.
Its important to note that I am a Track and Field athlete, a sprinter, and I have competed and won a District Championship, competed at Regionals and State competitions. I have had shin splints in the past, but they go away after proper rest, and I can sprint for days and days on end without feeling pain or anything in my feet. I guess that makes me have asymptomatic flat feet by definition. However, I am still worried that my dream that I have been working towards and cultivating could be crushed by a simple physical exam. Any advice/reassurance would be fine. I have my DoDMERB next month.
Thanks everybody.
