I am a UC San Diego college student, and I want to join the army either as active duty or as a reservist after medical school as an army doctor. I want to work in the army in the field, NOT in a military hospital or a desk job. I've had flat feet all my life, and I think it is somewhat severe. But this flat feet does not effect my physical activity at all. I can run around 7 miles nonstop in regular shoes without much discomfort and have played on a football and tennis team without any problems at all. I'm pretty athletic and run miles almost every other day. I really want to join after med school, but I'm afraid my flat feet would be a disqualifier. I believe my flat feet wouldn't effect my performance in any strenuous physical activities if I were able to enlist in the army. Do you think I would be disqualified? Any recruiters or current army personnel here that can answer my question?
Thank you so much.
