BMT: Leg Fracture = OOC = Recourse BMT = Temp Post to Unit?

  Hi everyone,
  
  Before I start i'll give some background information on my less than ideal army life so far.. within the first 4weeks of BMT I was placed out of training due to a stress fecture on my left femur. I moped around camp in crutches for about a week until I was put on medical leave. When I went to see the M.O, he was initially going to put me on 5 weeks attend c since I was going to be on crutches for another 5 weeks. He then told me that he forgot that the maximum period on medical leave for bmt is 2 weeks, so he gave me 2 weeks mc, and when I go back to tekong, see him and get an extension. That's all fine and dandy, but the thing is if I get an extension for another 2 weeks, it overlaps with my company's POP date. So what I was wondering is,
  
  -if I get the extension, what happens then? Do I have to attend the POP or POC whatever it is?
  
  -When I receive my exension, do I basically just pack up all my things and return the store items and head home?
  
  - Is the M.O likely to grant the extension? (only applies if I don't see the same M.O)
  
  some other relevant things I've also been wondering are:
  
  - What likely PES will I be downgraded to, and will it be permanant or temporary given my situation?
  
  - Likely vocations?
  
  - I'll probably have to recourse bmt, so when will I have to recourse given my situation? I was told by my specialist that my injury will take about 3 months to fully recover.
  
  Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy post!

  Now u already OOT means u need to go back for recourse, which can only go after u recovered.

  You don't get to attend your POP since you are out of course already. Some when your MC overlaps your POP, that means you can start packing up, return the store items and bring everything back home. Most of the time, you will get the extension of your MC, since it's a fracture but not other medical condition, but I say a specialist have more power on that since they are the specialist and the MOs are not. You most likely will go to storeman or clerk, not very clear on that, heard that if your injury is on the right leg, you can forget about driver. Recourse date will depends on your superior, they can send you asap or they can drag all the way till the few months before you ORD.
