Okay get ready...our lives are taking another major turn! Jordan had his dr. appointment last Thursday. Dr. Svaboda (Jordan's ortho Dr. at West Point) has put Jordan on a permanent physical profile. His profile pretty much states that he cannot do the aerobic event on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) which is a 2 mile run, or any alternate aerobic event on the test. It also has other limitations such as no marches with a ruck (a heavy backpack). Basically what this means is that Jordan is not deployable. The next step is for Jordan to go through the MEB (medical evaluation board). This board decides whether or not to retain Jordan in the Army. So the MEB will either retain him and stick him in some boring desk job for the remainder of his 6 years of service or they will medically discharge him out of the Army. We are really praying and hoping to get medically discharged!
Jordan is doing great with all this news. I think with everything that has gone on this past year and half we are both just happy to move on to something else. Jordan is going to start networking and looking for jobs in Dallas to prepare for the event that the Army medically discharges him. The MEB process could take up to 6 months. We really don't know how long everything is going to take. In the meantime, we are just here waiting.
