Don't let it get you down. I just finished being in a cast for 21 weeks after my trip to MEPS and, assuming that you heal okay, you shouldn't have any waiver issues so long as it doesn't require surgery to fix and you get full mobility back.
When the doc clears you for light exercise, find a recumbent stationary bike to use for your aerobic work. You won't have the bouncing of running to deal with, and won't need to support your upper body with your arms.
You may also consider long fin swims in the pool, it will help keep you loose and is also a good aerobic workout. You can either fin on your side with one arm extended, like the guys over at specialtactics.com tend to do, or on your back holding a kickboard at waist level to help you plane properly. Maybe even consider alternating the two. I recommend the red Zoomers, if you don't already own good fins.
BTW, it was a mountain bike that did me in, too.
