Thanks to everyone for your help on my previous post. I talked to a couple local guys who said the thing ten years ago is a non issue. However I have a new concern.
Yesterday I went to take my medical exam for self-sponsor. For this academy they require a copy of a recent EKG. My EKG came back showing something called a right bundle branch block. Of course I was concerned. However, my personal physician said a significant number of guys my age show this on EKG's (I'm 28) and that it has zero effect on my health. I had a heart condition when I was born and had it repaired when I was 3 by the then leading pediatric hospital in the US. The doctor said this type of repair can cause my EKG to show this branch block but I am actually 100%. To be safe I emailed the heart doc I had back in the day and she wrote me a formal letter saying none of my previous cardiac history has or potentially would have any limiting physical effect for me and that I am 100% healthy due tithe successful surgery. I work out every day, play on a mens tennis team and referee competitive soccer; I am a physically fit and an active person. I am more worried about this when I apply to agencies than academy admittance. Would I be able to offset the result with a letter from a respected specialist saying I'm fine?
