Martin was having shin splints a few weeks ago and they had him in a self paced work out waiver so his splints would heal and he'd be ready for the PT test on the 18th (yesterday). They knew he had flat feet before he even swore in. My friend said they prescribe you special shoes but he didnt get to. They also said if his shin's dont heal or he doesnt pass the test, he'd be medically discharged.
He called yesterday saying ?I have bad news, I?m being discharged?. His shin splints arent even the reason. Apparently he has PT Tendinitis . They said the arch on his foot was fine but a certain muscle is like pushing down on the arch which can cause it to be problematic and its discharge-able. So they turned in his discharge papers and transferred him to a different unit. They said if he was able to get rid of it, he can try again in 2 years if he feels he can do it. But that it was almost impossible to get rid of it.
So they didnt even check his shins or let him take the test. He's coming home in 3 weeks.
I feel so bad for him. I still want to get married but my parents are suddenly making a big deal out of this. As if this isnt enough to deal with. I'm so upset right now. And it makes me more upset knowing he's still over there, I cant imagine how he feels right now. And I cant be there to make him feel better.
