Question
I have flat feet, I believe I had to get a waiver to get in the Air Force Reserves, would I be elligble for a dischage?

Answer
Dani,
If you had flat feet and got a waiver for it odds are you will not be discharged. If you want out talk to your command, and express to them your wishes. The military spent time and money on you and will want to use that expertise that you have learned. Why exactly do you want to get out for anyhow?
