Pes Planus

[Guest phubai70]

Some one recently posted something about service connected "flat Feet".

Does any one know where it was? or by who? I cant remember squat and I am

near clueless on this new format.

It was Peter Sawyer who has the flat feet 30%. I thought you were not supposed to be drafted if you had flat feet?

[Pete53]

Yup its me. I am 30% for flat feet. Nov 14th, 1968 they were taking people with lots worse than flat feet.

I wonder if this ex Swaby could SC for shin splints, from marching and running on hard pavement in boot camp. I wonder if they would even show up on Xrays now. It's still painful to walk or stand on hard floors.

Of course they will say it's because of my weight. If I didn't have the problem with my shins in the first place, my legs wouldn't be hurting as much as they are, dispite my weight.

Jim:

You will probably have to make some kind of showing of being treated for those kind of problems or get a real Doc to opine that your current problems are related to pes planus you had during your service.

Good Luck

At Fort Benning in 1969 they took a guy with a heart condition. He wanted to stay in but every time we marched or ran he passed out on the side of the road.

There were rumors that the recycles were sent home instead of additional training.
