Will my reserve unit keep me?

Question

I am receiving an entry level 5-17 discharge from the army. I am a reservist and I am 17 years old. I had two knee surgeries prior to signing my papers and I received a waiver from meps saying i was ok. My knee couldnt handle the stress... will my reserve unit keep me and send me back to training or will they totally discharge me? at this point i just want to go to college.

Answer 1

Most likely you will be discharged under Medical. Think of what you want to do in the future. If it has physical considerations, you may not be eligible.

Answer 2

That's all going to depend on your MOS, what they could re-train you to do and  just how debilitating your knee problem is.

Answer 3

If your getting a discharge from the Army, wouldn't you no longer be a member of the Reserve Unit? I don't see how you can stay in if the knee won't allow you to make through boot camp.
