Doc noticed my flat feet right away. He asked me if it ever hurts. I said no. No waiver necessary. This was '86 though.

I've got flat feet. Never had a problem with em till I got to boot camp. I now have to wear prescribe insoles or I get pains in my legs that make it almost impossible to walk.I didn't get a waiver.

The last time I heard of Flat Feet being grounds for DQ was during WWII.

For a minute there I thought it said fat feet, and I started having this flashback to this chunky Asian girl I dated back in Hawaii...you haf figh dolla.
The ones in my bootcamp who had flat feet just got insoles and told to F Off.
