Will I be medically discharged for severely low Vitamin D and severe stress fractures?

When the VA told me my Vitamin D levels were low, they had me go to Wal-Mart and get the Vitamin D supplements - little gel pills. Basically, you get deficient of Vitamin D if you don't spend enough time in the sun.

Since the Army is already putting a lot of money into you, they are waiting to see if you can heal up enough to continue training. When I went to my first AIT, there was a guy that was a medical hold over. Had been a medical hold over for at least six months because he had crushed his hand. How, I don't know, but it was crushed pretty bad. He was cleared to train right before my cycle started. Could he have been medically discharged...possibly....but again, the Army put some serious money and time into his medical treatment. I'm guessing this is what is going on with you. You got hurt on the Army's time, therefore your treatment is on their dime. Perhaps at the end of the 9 months, they will re-evaluate your situation to see if you need to be medically discharged.

In the mean time, get healed up, and enjoy the next 9 months of Active Duty pay.

PVT (Join to see) I've read your question and the responses. I certainly understand why you would come on a forum and ask your question. You're "PVT", I would be scared shameful, too :0) plus you don't know what to expect. It doesn't take much for some ticked-off-on-that-day person with the power of the pen to go postal with red marker. You have been in more than 90 days, correct? Whichever way it goes for you, it won't be terrible. With 90 days under your belt you can file for service connection for the knee and leg injury. If you get a medical discharge with servance pay, you can always apply for service connection for the injuries (but the rules will be different), or you may continue on to AIT training. For now, just relax, follow doctor's orders, and recouoerate. Work through each day as the day comes. Best to you.
