Apologies if this has been discussed before.
I've read in this forum of a few people being medically released from BMQ (mostly older threads, so haven't read many details). I was just looking for some general info on this. I'm more concerned with how it relates to injuries. I figure some people get released because they have a condition that they hid in the medical somehow. But if someone gets hurt in Basic (or training at all for that matter) will they still be released if the problem can be fixed, albeit, with a lot of time? For example, a torn ACL should recover with surgery. While some trades might be limited, I'd imagine Universality of Service would still be met. What about something more vague like foot/leg pain. Many older members have sore joints and deal with it, but can someone be released for something like that because they're still in training?
Something of a vague question I know, but I guess it boils down to this: Can you be medically released in training even if you meet UoS? Are members going through occupational training still held to the (slightly) more stringent Enrollment Standards?
I ask because if I join I'll be giving up a good career path that would be difficult to rejoin. I admit, I'm a little paranoid of breaking a leg at Basic or something and being stuck up s* creek
Thanks,
