Hey there Beast77. I think that you have posed a difficult question. Everyone's body reacts differently to damage and recovery and we ave no specifics in this respect with regard to your situation. I think that if your knee is fine, and you've passed the medical, then that is one step in the right direction. However if you feel that you've somehow passed your medical by cheating; by avoiding the issue of your past injury, or by somehow "dodging a bullet" then you might have to think about it a little harder.
I myself went through knee surgery and have recovered quite well. I might add that many athletes suffer injuries and recover to go on to further their careers. Are they all jumping from 10-15 feet off the ground? Certainly not...but the point remains. If your goal is to become a superstar paratrooper and your knee worries you, you might think of another trade.
I myself haven't been to Basic yet, and I think that will be the best indicator for you. But I guess if you're in a rush to find out, find yourself a ten foot drop and giv'r. Let me know how that goes.
Have some faith in what your body tells you and good luck in Basic and the Reserves.
