Hello. I see some topics on this from 2015, but they seem more hopeful than what we are experiencing. My son sprained his ankle while wrestling last week in a freak accident. He felt it would look bad if he played it safe while he was a team captain. Plus he thought he would not get hurt. He didn't want to lie and just show up to I DAY and then say he got hurt during BCT because he believes in integrity first. But by letting the USAFA know, they are saying they are going to DQ him since any orthopedic injury in the last 6 months DQs you, no exceptions. We pushed back and said he could be totally healed by then. They said show up on I day and a doctor will examine you, and if he doesn't pass, he is out. This is a nightmare. The 2015 info said they might put injured kids into the prep school if he is DQ. Is this still the case? Any info or advice would be appreciated. He has already turned down all the other colleges that accepted him, as well as his ROTC scholarship. So he'll have to go to the junior college for a year if he doesn't get in. thank you.
