LOL. I'm at the same level, dude. I used to be able to do 30 push ups easy about 4 years ago. Guess I should've kept up with it, eh? It's ok. Training will make you better!
I would just recommend talking to your recruiter about your disability & bring up getting a medical waiver. Just keep in mind that a waiver isn't guaranteed & you may end up getting disqualified from joining depending on your injury. If that happens then there isn't a 2nd chance to join. :/ If you join w/out mentioning the injury, you risk the chance of them finding out later & will most likely be released. That's not good either. (they will most likely find out if you can't complete Basic)
lol, glad I'm not the only one! I've improved my push ups, but I just want to be able to do 30 without too much effort. Damn my lack of upper body strength!
Um, I'm not sure. Although you haven't had surgery, I would still tell your recruiter about it even if you've just seen a doctor about it. Unless you have lame recruiter, they will try to help you and give you advice about what to say at MEPS. Like, I had my arm pulled out of the socket a couple of times as a kid, but he said not to mention it. My arm is totally fine now, so it doesn't bother me at all. I would just talk to them and see if they advise you tough it through or try & get a waiver.
Whether you or not you get medically discharged or receive Entry Level Separation (leaving the military after being enlisted less than 180 days; neither honorable or dishonorable.), it's not the same as being "medically retired." In the case that you are discharged from basic training, I don't believe you will receive any benefits other than receiving your basic pay for the time you were there. So enlisting would pretty much have been for nothing.
This didnt help at all, obviously everyone knows that you're going to need to be able to do situps, pushups, and running. I feel I speak for a good amount of people when I say I wanted to see number and time requirements for the run, pushups, and situps.
You should do okay as long as you can get through 45 push ups in a minute. That and maybe some of the obstacle courses that you may have to make it through during BMT. I haven't shipped off to BMT yet, so I am not familiar with exactly what you will be required to do other than the PT tests. I would also recommend not listing any jobs that require an extreme amount of physical fitness. (Ex. Combat Controller, Pararescue...) If all else fails, you MIGHT be able to get a medical waiver.
Well, good luck. I would definitely talk to your recruiter about getting a medical waiver. Here's a link if you want to read more. usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/medicalwaiver.htm
I cannot begin to describe the amount of anxiety this video gave me every time I took my pt test. Took my last one on Wednesday!

I'm really interesting in the air force, but I want to ask you , how can I join?
Tried to get to 30 once, it almost killed me, the max I can do is 25, and the last 3 are like an elephant on my back.
