Car accident and enlisting
Hey everyone!
I have a question and did ask my local recruiter and was just wanting to verify or know if anyone out there has been in my position.
Last week I got into a minor car accident. Nothing serious, the other driver did not see me while changing lanes and clipped the front of my car. I had no immediate pain but a couple of hours afterwards I started getting some back and neck pains. The neck pains went away leaving me with minor back aches. The Dr told me because of the way I maneuvered my car, my body locked up. So as a result, its like when you excercise and you havnt done it in a while, your body will be sore for a couple of days and he said thats what my back is going through. He put me in physical therapy for 3 weeks and a months worth of muscle relaxers. He did mention he does not see it being an ongoing issue because there was no injury to my spine or discs and the therapy is just a precaution to prevent the possibility of possible future injuries.
Now to my question. I asked my recruiter, since this is so recent and i plan on enlisting sometime in August, will this prevent me from enlisting or will I just need a medical waiver? She told me as long as i continue with the therapy, I should receieve something from the Dr that I completed all treatment and that it will not be of any issue in the future and that it will not prevent me from joining and the time frame is no issue. Is this information she provided true? Will I need a medical waiver when I get to MEPS? Or will this prolong the process?
ANY help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

It sounds as though she gave you the right info. Make sure you answer all questions truthfully, have your doctor's letter to hand and chances are you won't need a medical waiver.

Great! Thanks for that, I feel a LOT better now! I have no intentions on not providing the truth on any documentation. If I lie and get hurt, or they find out, its only going to ruin things for me and thats the last thing I want.
