i have been in the Marine Corps for almost 3 yrs now and am having a hard time with a difficult decision.i was cut off on my motorcycle a little over a year ago and messed up my foot pretty bad. the ambulance took me to the navy hospital where they dicided i had 2 broken toes and to just stay off it for a few days. a few months later when the swelling finally went down the realised i shattered most of the right side of my left foot and would have to wait for surgery since they didnt notice it right away. i just recently had surgery and my surgeon says i have a 80-90% chance of making a recovery where i will be able to walk semi normal and run with minimal pain(noticeable limp though). i have been on limited duty for over a year and am about to possibly go on my 3rd period of lim-du if they dont put me on a peb.i am worried because i dont want to get out of the marines but at the same time i dont want to keep wasting all this time just to get kicked out further down the road. my m.o. gave me the option to go on a peb or the 3rd lim-du and i chose lim-du so i can try and stay in but he is thinking about putting me on a peb anyway. i dont know anything about what benefits i can get if i take the option to get on a medical board and what my family could get. i have a wife and 1 child and we are thinking about another child but dont want to be stuck with no medical coverage if i get kicked out before our 2nd child would be born.any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
