I was wondering if anybody knew if the Retiree Relief Act has been implemented or is in effect?

Greetings tharin4prez, Glad to hear that your Board results came back. Question: 1)Are you still active? 2)What branch of service are you in? 3)They rated your back @ 20% and Sleep Apnea for 50% at the PEB? 4)Did you have any Surgeries?

Greetings, I have a couple of questions.
