I have no instruction to cite but my personal experience was a final out date of august 28th which was adjusted to october 28th to allow for the taking of all terminal leave.

There is always a chance for anything. So I mean yeah why not. But don't get your hopes up.

I am fairly certain a BCA failure, without a medical condition that is causing it (leave and having a hard time switching to nights does not count) will unavoidably result in his being discharged. Now the actual physical requirements being failed (run, push ups, sit ups) can trigger a medical...

So, in conjunction with an old professor of mine, I am looking at producing and publishing an article on discrimination against veterans in the workforce, any will do but especially for managerial roles. As someone that has been a "bictim" of this (have been told many things to include...

Just ensure the union hall knows your situation. Do not sign any binding agreements until you know a final out date for the military. My main suggestion would be to call the union hall and discuss your specific situation. They will likely be happy to work with you due to your being a disabled...

What do you mean by "its personal issues"?

Depends. If you committed a violation of the UCMJ that is bad enough it can trump MEB/PEB proceedings.

To view your total rating percentage go to enenefits. Under VA letters generate a va benefits summary. That letter will show you your percentage. Also, if you are using your GI Bill that deposit could be a book/living allowance.

Sorry for your friends that have failed laminectomy syndrome. As to range of motion atypically you lose about the same amount you are already unable to use due to pain. Now granted I did not have a choice as it was either surgery or end up paralyzed due to the damage incurred to my spinal...

Has no one discussed surgery with you? Spondyliosis never gets better or goes away with a surgical intervention. You should get a consult with a neurosurgeon and see what they say. Partial Laminectomy is the typical corrective for this. Sucks but it gets better after the surgery. I am at 2...

You can generate an awards letter on ebenefits. If your ratings are done this letter will show you your ratings.

Honorable discharge so it should consist of final move and half severence (less something changed).

Make sure you stress the nerve pain issues during your C&P exams with the VA. Bilatteral Neuropathy/Rediculopathy meant the difference between severance and retirement for me. As to the pain you have I highly suggest talking to your Pain Management doc about an RFA (radio frequency ablation)...
