    Hi everyone

    I have been earmarked for medical discharge & have got the f*****g arrse about it! In may 2010 i partially tore my acl in my left knee, september 10 i had surgery 7 was fixed, done

    April 2011 - Accident during a run, completely ruptured the same ligament. This October i have been booked for ACL reconstruction to fix me once and for all. However, even though the success rate is 95% i have still had to fill out an Appendix 18 adn have been told i will be getting Md'd. Was i wrong to think that if surgery would fix me and return me to service i would stay? I must note i'm a Snut and awaiting my first posting.

    cheers

    ahh i'm at 'the magical place' I been told that if i was at my unit i would be 'saved'
    Is there anything i can do to delay my discharge. I've tried every excuse i can think of and none seems to make any difference. Would i be able to re-enlist if i recover well?

    thanks for any answers you can give me

    just grizz it until you get through training then 'hurt' yourself out on a run or tab when you are at your unit. I have seen people have an easy life for the last few years using this method. Fine men
