Any of you vets go through an Medical Board?

Must found out bout your fake valor

Are you in the military right now? I ask because you use the term Medical Board, which is the process you go through to get a medical discharge.

Yes... 18.5 yrs in. Trying to beat the board and stay in until at least 20.

Man, you're gonna have to stand up and walk 12 steps in the Navy's new deep sea suit. That thing weighs nearly 300 pounds.

Are you sure that your situation is pending at the Veterans Administration?

I don't think I've heard of an active duty Soldier at 18.5 years whose medical board case is pending at the Veterans Administration.

BRAINWAVE !

Apply for a Sex Reassignment Surgery immediately. By the time surgery is scheduled, you'll be Retired at 20 years active federal service.

Usually VA decision is the first to get done iirc. Then DOD takes their sweet arse time.

You do need to hang on and get concurrent receipt and retire. What branch are you in? Need to talk to your peblo.

I don't know enough about the process to give you any advice. I didn't even know that an active duty bubba with 18 years of active duty could have a Compensation and Disability Claim pending with the VA. If I didn't know that, then I don't know enough to give any advice.

HOWEVER, I feel very sure that if you apply for Gender Re-assignment Surgery now, they might let you make it to retirement, especially if you agree to postpone this issue until AFTER you retire from military service. Tell them that you'll "pitch a fit like a Gay Olympic Figure Skater" if they don't agree to this deal.

That might work.



PS You can tell that I cracked a lot of jokes back in my barracks days.

Sound advice from the OT

They're usually zero help anyways (peblos).

Are you still in your work or have you been moved to a transition unit? I'd ask more specific questions but not going to ask too personal on here.

When did you start the process?

Who is in charge of your med board? If you don't mind asking. Like hospital doctor, unit medical, or specific unit?

I'm not AF, but very knowledgeable and went thru this shite 2 yrs ago.

I waited a year on my med board. You need to talk to whatever the airforce has for wounded, injured and ill airmen. Start getting ready for transition regardless.
