Ooof.... sorry to hear that.

How did he tore his UCL, if I may ask? I'd presume from playing baseball (as it's pretty common)?

Throwing a javelin for track team.

bummer

Damn that does suck. Prayers for healing for the young lad.
[Reply]

Yeah, I can see that too as well.

That sucks, sorry to hear that.

How will this impact the air force decision?

Hopefully the MRI results come back negative.

There’s still hope brotha.

He'll have to wait till he's recovered as he can't do boot camp or pass the physical evals with that injury.
[Reply]

This is true.

Well, he still can do other training that doesn't require any stress on the elbow.

That's too bad. The military can always use good spear throwers.

When you're that age you heal pretty quick & efficient for the most part. Keep your head up and fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear about the injury. The upside is that the surgery and recovery period has come a long way over the years. My nephew is a sports med doc and he says the recovery period for most non-pitchers is 7-9 months.

Sorry to hear it brother.

Thought this was going to be a thread about meeting Billay
[Reply]

No bueno.

If it's torn, will that affect his enlistment? I'm assuming that can put him on the DEP list while he heals.....
