It was determined that both my knees had bone on bone contact when i was 48. I hurt both of them on a ski trip while serving active duty in 1991. I did not report this injury for a multitude of reasons, including my commander telling me I could be brought up on charges of damaging government owned equipment.

PO2 (Join to see) You got some real bad advise, always report injuries to medical. It would have been very unlikely that you would be brought up on charges due to injuries that happened while skiing. They would have to show misconduct. The military is pro physical exercise and skiing fits in the definition. Now you will need to find other veterans/sevice members to back up your claim that it is service cpnnected.

the only thing you need which is gonna be hard to do is prove that the injuries led to the bone on bone and not a genetic arthritic condition

the problem here is it doesn't sound like "line of duty" if you were injured during PT or some official activity then you would have a nexus
