SF and Prosthetics...

[Megstarofoz]

I asked this questions and someone advice to post it here to see if someone else could help answer it.

I'm a Medic, SSG for a Sapper company. I went to SFAS a couple of years back and was medically sent home after a injury during the star course that left me with a fractured ankle an multiple ligament tears. To this day I wear an AFO (ankle foot orthosis) to keep my foot at an 90 degree angle. I refused to do surgery since it wold fuse my bones and kick me out of the service, instead I wear that prosthetic. I currently do not hold a medical profile (I don't want one) and I am perfectly able to run marathons, ultra races or 20 mile ruck marches and pass Sapper school wihtout a problem (with a little pain) and want to go back to SFAS and try again, but I have reservations, since I have never heard of any SF Soldiers wearing prosthetics...do you know of any Soldiers in SF or that have tried SF service with successful carrers? or if is even possible?

Also, with this display of Questionable SA, you shouldn't even bother with this WEAK attempt!!!
