medical condition (high arches). Am I entitled to any sort of benefits or was my time not long enough?

You didn't spend enough time in the military for benefits, it is usually 180 days for benefits.
You can always check the VA though, and see what they say.
A lot of it depends on the type of discharge you got.

You are only entitled to medical services if you were honorably or generally (under honorable conditions) discharged, and/or your condition was a service-connected issue. With a pre-existing condition, you may not qualify.
Being discharged halfway through Basic Training means you were likely given an "uncharacterized" discharge. Generally, you must have served a minimum of 24 months of continuous service to qualify, but there are exceptions.

I hope that helps!

no you are not entitled to benefits for a pre-existing condition, you have to serve at least 180 days and/or be medically discharged having an injury occur because or you training not a pre-exisiting one.

It is extremely doubtful you are entitled to any benefits for such a short period of time in the service and considering your condition was pre-existing.

Didn't get through Boot and want benefits?
Eight years later?
Most employers don't offer any thing for 90 days either.
Even insurance companies won't cover a PRE-EXISTING condition.

If it was pre-existing, I am sure that you won't be entitled to anything after your initial separation pay.
