Hello - I was diagnosed with PF a year ago and I also currently have pes planus. I've been to 2 podiatrists and explained my service history. Background:
I've been in the service for 32 years (half active, half reserve). I've been on 3 full year deployments (AFG and DJ) and on 2 med cruises. When i enlisted in 90 my MEPS physical indicated normal arches but its obvious now I have flat feet. I don't have any thing in my STR about complaints or issues with my feet although like most folks I've also had issues but never complained. the 2 podiatrists think my service significantly contributed to my current conditions. I haven't asked them for nexus letters but just want to opinions from this experienced group if i even get 2 nexus letters, without any STR entries if I even stand a chance getting rated.
