What are your thoughts on going to boot camp with Chondromalacia Patella?

I just recently enlisted in the Army National Guard. I am going to Fort Jackson, SC May 31st. I've had this problem (also known as Jumpers knee) for about a year and a half now. I'm 19 years old. Still active. I'm beginning to do more leg workouts and use the bicycle machine. I spoke to the orthopedic doctor and he said he's not restricting me from going to boot camp but I just have to consider my consequences in the future (i.e knee replacement)
