I hurt my knees in military?

speak to whom ever in in charge.

that would be the first thing to do.

I'd suggest doing everything possible to get the matter taken care of while you're home at you unit. Talk to your commander and tell him the situation if you already havn't. If worse comes to worse, go to ait, then immediatly go on sick call, tell the doc your problems. He'll probably send you to get tests, x-rays, ect. Then if he desides you're bad enough they'll start the process to med board you. How ever, that is a great way to get stuck in a black hole in ait, you'll probably end up pullying alot of staff duty, cdo I think they call in basic/ait. Med boards are usually a long process and take atleast 2 months, but it could be much longer. So like I said, do all that you can to get it taken care of before they send you to ait.

I would guess you need official written confirmation of your physical condition from your doctor. At your age, the extent of your injuty sounds very serious and you should definitely seek some form of treatment as it could disrupt your whole life if left untreated.

Let's see, you were all signed up to go trespass, stomp doors down and destroy people and cities for the Bush gang and his big oil buddies, and now you can't. I feel so sorry for you..

Ask for an appointment with your bases JAG (lawyers)
