  If your flat foot doesn't affect you, then don't bother.

  It all depends on severity. I came down with flat-footedness in the army. Never got downgraded - just Excuse Lower Limb for a couple of weeks when my arches first collapsed, along with physiotherapy.

  I'm still flat-footed, and I'm still in a combat vocation.

  go to your camp's mo and tell him to refer you.i was referred to AH by my mo in navy times and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. if you feel pain on thigh/butt or heel when pressured, go before situation get worse

  Not necessarily.

  Like I said, its severity varies.

  Just report to your MO and ask him to examine your feet. If it's bad enough, he will refer you to a severity.
