More than likely the Navy will find the knees unfitting an not the remainder of the conditions. It will be up to you to try to get them referred. The Navy typically just looks at one body group when determining fitness. I know that they are suppose to the consider the entire body to determine fitness, they know they are, however all to often they will not.Do those unfitting conditions include insomnia, depression, or anxiety?
