    Just had surgery- want to go Fed someday

    I am a municipal officer and I have been for about a year. I tore my meniscus during a foot pursuit and had to have arthroscopic surgery. I have a masters degree and went to the best training academy possible (police corps). I would like an opinion as to how badly my surgery will affect my chances of getting on with a federal agency eventually. My MD says that I will be 100% pretty soon but I worry that having to list the surgery on any app will make them turn me away. I'm 27 now and want to be federal by 33 or 34.


    thanks

    Listing that surgery will not affect your application. The key is to be less than 37 years old and being able to do the physical requirements.
