Hello there,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but i need an answer to my question. I leave January 3, 2011. To prepare myself for my upcoming ship date I have continued to work out, A few days ago while on a run, I slipped and pulled a muscle. I did the Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate (Played sports all my life). However, it has been nearly five days and the muscle still is tender and sore and I cannot jog or run on it. I would suck it up however it isn't a pain its more that it won't work.
My mother who works as an Emergency Room nurse thinks I might have torn the muscle. (She supports my decision so it's not her preventing me from going). I need to get it checked out further.
I need to know if this injury is gonna push back my ship date? I'm a contracted as a Reservist. I'm currently visiting my family out of state and was playing on flying back "home" to leave for boot. However, If my ship date changes I will just stay here until I have to leave.
How likely is it that my date will change? How long will I have to wait for another reservist spot? I enlisted in July and have been dedicated to my dream of being a Marine. I don't want to go to boot and be stuck in a medical platoon.
