My flatfeet were determined not service connected by the VA. Yes, I had them upon entering, but they never bothered me. I continued to have problems with my feet over the years during my military stint. One orthopedic surgeon even asked me how I got into the military in the first place. The Navy even made custom inserts from using molds of my feet to assist me and it was unsuccessful. My entrance exam says that my feet were "abnormal." But, I was allowed to serve. My question is this; since the condition existed when I enlisted (although I never had any pain or trouble), are there no grounds on which to appeal?
