Pretty Sure the controversial "Americans doing Row Chant" was misleading/semi-fake

Did some sleuthing, and I'm not 100%, but located the video to Dallas where Norway played Ivory Coast.

First Clue: The claim that after a US victory and the match is over that the host got a (probably drunken) crowd to all sit down and then taught them the Norwegian word for "row" (without anyone asking why they just didn't say "row") and then they all did the chant.

Second Clue: There is hardly ANYONE wearing USA apparel. A few flags spotted.

Final Clue: The location is Dallas, and after the USA vs. Bosnia match at 8:07pm it would have still been light as sunset is at 8:39pm.

Conclusion: While not 100%, this was a watch party in Dallas for the Norwegian vs Ivory Coast match (not USA vs Bosnia) and the host taught them the Norwegian chat so they could all have a good time.

Advice - Unique Situation with Shoulder Issues

Hey Everyone,

Been in about 15 years and no issues with PFA/FA scores (all above 90). Current IMA Reservist to do my time at an active duty base.

Currently in my civilian job in an African country with limited medical resources. FA scheduled when I'm on reservist duty in August.

Injured myself during my last reservist duty during a pushup competition, got an MRI here locally and it looks like I tore my rotator cuff. Problem is, I can't get it rehabbed here due to lack of medical resources.

Now the dilemma, my body type is one that needs to prepare for the pushup portion of the FA and if I do not start now, I will not be at a good level for my FA test. Problem, if I start my pushup routine it will further injure my shoulder. I'll get an official diagnosis this July when I'm back in the USA (month before my FA).

Questions:

1.) I do not have a history of profiles (one in my 15 year career), I'm up for officer promotion this year, any issues with getting a profile for this FA?

2.) I don't remember, how does it work getting a profile when working with a civilian doctor or is impossible and I'd need to see the med clinic when I got to my reservist base to get one?

3.) Do I understand the new FA correct that I cannot get on a profile for only shoulder/pushups but the entire thing? As an IMA reservist, I'm wondering what that looks like then if I get on profile, am I good until I'm off profile and can test my next reservist duty date?

4.) Anything I'm not thinking of here?

Just making 100% sure I do this correctly because of my promotion board this year so appreciate any of your advice and feedback on this!
