Types of Medical discharges
Hello and thank you for this forum. My son graduated San Diego MCRD at the end of October. Started MCT second week in November and broke his arm. He had surgery to implant steel plates 4 days later. He talked with his surgeon on January 9 and found that he is unable to rotate his wrist, i.e. go from a palm down position to a palm up. He is scheduled to see a physical therapist at the end of this month. However, being the pragmatist that he is he has started to look into what types of medical discharges are accorded to active duty marines if his arm does not get well enough to finish MCT and eventually go on to his MOS training. He is not giving up by any means but he is also preparing for what might happen if he is unable to rejoin the fleet.
Could someone explain to me what options are available for medical discharges.
Thanks for any and all responses.
