I'll second Ponts advice. Either join your local RNR unit (or even UAS?) and immerse yourself in whatever colour of blue that would suit your plans. That way you can go back to the military in the future with (hopefully) a wealth of experience in things military and proof of your commitment. Thereafter, it's a matter of keeping your fingers crossed medical-wise. Sometimes the cruel seagull of fate will splash a big one in your soup and there ain't much you can do about it! Hope it all works out for you, good luck.
