I am reapplying for a waiver once cleared by orthopedic doctor. I was given a knee brace and it helps immensely. Will I be able to get a profile going into BCT allowing me to wear the brace? It’ll help prevent me from injuring it again. It can be worn under clothes and isn’t noticeable. I wouldn’t need it during the physical fitness test if it wasn’t allowedCan you a wear knee brace during BCT?2022-01-27T19:51:43-05:00Carter Werkheisee7499935<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I recently got injuried and have runners knee which prevented me from shipping out for BCT.

There would be to much liability sending an individual who is injured.Response by MSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 28 at 2022 12:36 AM2022-01-28T00:36:36-05:002022-01-28T00:36:36-05:00MSG Private RallyPoint Member7500316<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Highly...highly doubt itResponse by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 28 at 2022 1:16 AM2022-01-28T01:16:07-05:002022-01-28T01:16:07-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member7500784<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Short answer, no... long answer is that if you still need the support of the brace, prior to shipping and then while at BCT; you are most likely not fit for duty. However, if you get cleared and no longer need the brace, have an approved waiver to enter the Army, and later become injured again and the on base doc says you need a brace, one will be provided for you. <br /><br />Honestly, it makes zero sense to leave for BCT if you are not 100% ready to rock. Even with a waiver for entry, if the problem continues you'd just be discharged and sent home anyway. Just take the time to heal up all the way and then come in. Save yourself the BS down the line.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 28 at 2022 9:41 AM2022-01-28T09:41:33-05:002022-01-28T09:41:33-05:002022-01-27T19:51:43-05:00
