Yeah, I get all of the emails from MandR and it doesnt look good.. I need to contact them and get all the paperwork and fill it out and jump on board with yall.. I would assume the more people fighting them, the more firepower MandR have against KBR.. And maybe that damn judge will remove the...

I am being retired due to lung problems that I believe to be from the burn pits over there, but the DOD did not deem the illness (occured in combat), but did deem it service related..

Does anyone know what the process is to have a medical retirement date pushed back a month? I have read about the date has to be within 90 days, but when does that 90 days start? The folks at AFPC called me to inform me of my retirement date of 28 Sept around the 25th of July. The way I see...

I am actually "stable" in current therapy, but still carry and use, on occasion, the rescue inhaler. The kicker is, if they decide Im unfit, they will have to retrain me due to the fact that you cant fly (there is no waiver) on Advair..

Yeah, my CC's letter basically stated that I can not perform my current AFSC and it is up to the board to determine my "world-wide" capability and see if it is in the best interest of the Air Force to retain and retrain or seperate..
