Back injury in BMT, what now?

[Nsomfo]

A little context here

I’m like 2nd month into CDO BMT, I missed outfield due to bacterial infection, didn’t take IPPT and route marches due to injury. But I got forced into BTP and getting marksmen.

I have always had a case of DDD at lumbar spine, and disc bulge. But I was assigned Pes B1 before enlisting, and still went to commandos (WTF). Recently seen Specialist and had a memo wrote to recommend downpes. Specialist also ordered for new MRI scan which I’m taking next Tuesday. Gave MO the memo and he tells me to wait and see see new MRI results, he also gave me 50 days RMJ and Heavy Load excuse.

In conclusion 3 weeks of Attend C for cellulitis
50 days RMJ/heavy load excuse
No IPPT/route March attempt
Did not go outfield
Got marksmen

Questions:

1. Now I just follow my coy like ghost, do nothing, and just walk around and watch. Do you think I will be OOTed? If not what will happen, will I know if I’m going OOT? Would the OC look for me about it?

2.if I downpes, what would happen to me, post out of CDO? If so how long and usually to what vocation

3.my first MRI before enlistment alr show signs of DDD, sent to CMPB still no downpes. I wonder if it’s cuz of the memo not recommending downpes at first, it say “patient complains chronic lower back pain, l4/l5 disc bulge, refer to radiological report”(no **** sherlock)

4. People with spinal issues, anyone did NOT downpes? How about those that did, how far can you downpes LMAO

My friend has a minor disc bulge too but PES B1L1 because he is asymptomatic (no pain no numbness) so he didn't bother getting PES review
If it is really affecting you then you just have to keep pushing for a review

1) Possible. Ask your commander.

2) possible. any vocation that suits you and needs you.

3) may be they didn't deem it serious enough to warrant a down pes

4) you will be given a PES that is suitable for your condition.

 

[Kyo_kusanagi86]

If no downpes, likely you be rifleman. Just be prepared.

this one too vague

The specialist memo? At least I felt that the specialist I saw a year ago just doesn’t care.

Damn serious ah his? I also have DDD but maybe they didn’t seem it serious based on MRI. Either ways I still feel pain everyday...

 

[b4zabeat]

I think likely will be pes E

I just did MRI, the specialist say is likely a herniated disc although the size compared to bulging disc is ard the same, radiology report not yet out. Slipped disc can perm down?
