Great write up Snuff...Sorry to hear about the knees but being airborne qualified you obviously know how to push through the discomfort. I hope you have some great surgeons and you heal well.

About two weeks before the failure of the ACL graft I had made some strides towards going back on status. I've got the feeling that had that gone through I'd need a few more surgeries
