Man you hit the nail on the head I never heard someone put it that way but it is exactly how it is done to us when we are young SrA like you said it’s a blindside when we are clueless we just follow orders thinking they know what’s best for us and how quickly they rush to put you out and make it...

I will give him a call and see what he thinks I appreciate you all helping out I been pulling my hair out for years wondering if I could have had a different out come. I was a stupid young kid and was broken in spirit to continue to fight.

Thanks guys question though I sent in my paper work for the AFBCMR to contest it on injustice. Even though I have sent it in my dd 194 is it possible to still obtain a lawyer before it’s been seen? I doubt they even have looked at it since how long they take to process it.
