Injury before I-day-what to do??

[Palmer_CC04]

Hello,

I have scraped my arm pretty bad. It doesn’t need stitches but it’s definitely noticeable and I have been applying over the counter stuff to help.
I know USAFA will see it on I day and it’s pretty ugly —should I go ahead and inform USAFA ?

Thanks

A scrap that does not need stitches?

IMO let the medics know when you report that first day. If it needs treatment they will provide it.

No! If it is not broken or no stitches do not raise any red flags, Period! You have 5 and a half days, it will heal up nicley.
DO NOT DO IT!!

OK I am done.

Enjoy your last days before summer camp!

A scrape, really? No, no need to notify unless you really don’t want to in process.

There is a difference between pain and injury.

Rub some dirt on it and walk it off. Unless it is an orthopedic injury, like a broken bone, they won't care.
