[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 197204, member: 1436"] She disclosed all information to the army. She was even prepared to get a waiver. They said she didn't need it. Her ortho sent all her medical records to her recruiter and they went with her to MEPS. She would have never falsified a document and neither would her doctor. He simply sated that at the moment she was qualified. And at that moment, she was. The MEPS ortho said that he saw no further damage to her knee and it had healed better than any he had seen. But, alas, a fews weeks of running and marching did her in! My feeling is that she went, she tried, she failed to get through. It's not the end of the world. I have tried to teach my kids that there is nothing wrong with failure. That the regrets in life come from not trying. She has heeded that lesson and lives her life without being disappointed in failing if she knows she has tried her best. We all have different talents and abilities. Her (hereditary) joint issues limit her. We hoped that it would be years before she had any other issues. Didn't work that way. Onward and upward. She plans on returning to college. She now says she wants to work in Physical Therapy. Who knows? Next weeks she may decide on something new. She is one who likes to experience a lot of things. And I am glad she has the opportunity to try a lot of things while she is young and free. She will be fine. She is a fighter, that girl of mine---all 5' of her. She will bounce back and move on. Thanks for all your support. This has been a rough ride on the mommy train. Nothing is worse than having your child's dreams dashed before she's had a chance to complete them. [/QUOTE]
