I've been seriously considering applying for a position as a Radar Tech with the Navy, but I am curious about my chances of actually being considered. I'm 35 now, but back when I was 21 I had enrolled with the Reserves (infantry) was accepted and went to basic training. However about 3 weeks in I started having knee pain from all the running and marching..I had previously injured my knees lifting weights but didn't know the actual cause/source of the pain. I saw a doctor on the base and was told that I was fine in his opinion. After another week or two with my knees still hurting I quit and left convinced that I couldn't physically do it. Now as it turns out my knee problem had a very simple solution. My leg muscles simply were developing unevenly causing my knee's tracking to be misaligned, and hence the pain. Easily rectified with some simple exercises. My knees are fine 100% these days...
But given the fact that I quit basic once before will that automatically exclude me from applying?
