As the pain allows, begin increasing the resistance of the exercises to strengthen the tendons, and don't forget the muscle the tendon is attaching (Gastrocnemous).<br><br> The flat feet may be more of a challenge. You need to continue to wear the orthotics and you should also be working the entire foot to be sure you strengthen the tendons and ligaments in the foot which create the arch. Often flat feet also result in problems in the legs, knees and lower back. There will be a lot of stress on the legs and consequently the archs in the military so the more you prepare yourself now the less likely the fallen arches will be a problem in the military. I can't tell you if "fallen arches" are still an automatic disqualification from the military but you must be sure you can do the running and hikes. I gguaranteeyou if you can't do the runs and hikes you will be disqualified. Let me know if you have specific questions. You sound like there are two problems that need attention.
