were you on the TEXAS?

I have been falling apart for almost 23 years !!  I am glad you got out the black holr of med hold!  I have known many guys who got stuck there what was only supposed to be six months only to still be fighting it a year later!! Many a good first class missd making Chief because the med board screws up your stuff with no reguard to your career (except as to weather they will end it!!!)

Thanks for your time and you should consider your self the same as any one who served thier 20, cause you gave all you could while you could.

Hey man,

I've been through the whole gamut with Medical Discharge and the VA.
If you want any advice just let me know.

John,
I care. I appreciate your service to our country, and am sorry that it was cut short. You will land on your feet if you decide to work commercial nuclear power (and probably anywhere else).

For the record, I heard horror stories about med boards in the Navy. My son says it is a non-issue getting out of the Army. Isn't that strange?

Roll Tide,

I have an absolutely horrible and sad tale about a young guy who was in the Army.

Thank you all for everything. With the help and advice I have recieved here, it looks like I will be heading into the comercial world. Mike, you may not remember, but you gave some great guidance during my most trying of times and morphine induced delusions. You helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. For that, I thank you.
