I've noticed you've given some straight advice to a lot of people here and am hoping you can point me in the right direction: either a thread, your own experience, or an suitable attorney. Or I may be jumping the gun. I am an active duty chaplain with seven and a half years AD and four years...

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and will likely have an MEB. I can still perform my duties as assigned and PT tests, etc. I am a bit over 19 years. Is it best that I apply for retirement before everything becomes official or wait and see how this plays out? Thanks.

Yes I was medically retired at 10 years but can't receive and AF retirement and VA disability because I didn't serve 20 years?? That does not seem fair! I don't understand how they can do that if I was medically retired! Are they working to change this law or anything? I should be receiving...
