However, in the Military, just about anything can happen with a waiver. If the right person wants something to happen, it’s a signature away. <br />“Non-waiverable”. <br />“”But sir, mission will fail if we don’t waiver (fill in the blank)”<br />“Say no more (as he’s filling out the paper work)” SGT Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 26 Apr 2018 18:27:49 -0400 2018-04-26T18:27:49-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-likely-it-it-to-get-a-waiver-for-a-lacerated-my-flexor-tendon-in-my-thumb?n=3579888&urlhash=3579888 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>hate to say it, but none of us would be able to answer that question.<br /><br />second part is without knowing your history or what your limitations are , only a doc that specializes on that type of injury could essentially say yay/nay to your waiver. So the medical chief is technically right he won&#39;t know if it will be approved. If its not approved right away and the review board looking at it needs more info , they will more than likely send you to do a consult. or they can just deny you. <br /><br />wait and see , is all the advice I have at this time.

So it’s case by case SGT Eric Davis Thu, 26 Apr 2018 20:57:30 -0400 2018-04-26T20:57:30-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-likely-it-it-to-get-a-waiver-for-a-lacerated-my-flexor-tendon-in-my-thumb?n=3580183&urlhash=3580183 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I can&#39;t speak to the future, but there are a couple of questions that could lead you in the right direction. Was the injury resolved? Did you regain full function of the extremity? Did you regain full range of motion of the extremity? If there is a residual disability to the injury, would it limit your ability to perform your duties to the fullest extent?<br /><br />When the military takes you in as a recruit, they expect to be working with &quot;brand new out of the box&quot; bodies... not major injuries. They can accept refurbished as long as they are gently used and restored to original function. Good luck.
