Question
hi I'm mark and I had a question about the W.O.F.T program. I have Erbs Palsy and this limits my arm motion slightly will I still be able to qualify for pilot flight training or infantry?

Answer
You need to have a doctor evaluate your condition. The regulation doesn't mention this condition but it will have to be evaluated by a doctor at MEPS anyways to determine your medical eligibility. They will also set any limitations they feel necessary for you there.

Expertise

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.

Experience

I have experience in both deployed and garrision environments as a Military Police Officer.

Education/Credentials
Bachelor of Science in Arabic and French from United States Military Academy at West Point.
