ive been having symptoms of osteoathritis. ive been working out like every other day lately to get ready for the military mostly long runs. now ive been experiencing soreness in the knee and it clicks when i go up the stairs. my question is will this prevent me from joining the air force.

You will have to undergo a military induction physical and you will be asked if you have ever been treated for an injury to a bone or a joint. If you answer yes, they will pay particular attention to that area and if it clicks when the exam takes place, they aren’t going to accept you.
I’m sure you will be ok, you just have to make it through the boot camp.
