I have to retake my CFA by December 14, however I think I might've strained my hip, and when I tried to run a mile yesterday, I could only make it 4/10 of a mile. Sometimes it hurts just to walk. It's only been hurting since Saturday though, and I didn't rest as much as I shoukd've yesterday. Should I just power through and take the CFA anyway? I know I could injure myself worse, but I don't want my application to be disqualified. I don't think I could get another extension because they already gave me a month so I could retake it. Also, if I do request an extension I am not sure if I'd be able to provide proof of injury in time, and I don't think it's that serious right now. I think it would heal if I rested for a few weeks, so I wouldn't usually go to the doctor about an injury like this. Any advice would be very appreciated.

This is easy: Ask the primary source directly. Get the answer from USAFA. Asking here for unofficial statements only postpones the inevitable: that you need an official pronouncement from the only people who matter.
That makes sense. I was worried it might make me look bad, but if I fail my entire app. is closed anyway so I suppose it is worth a shot.
