national guard

I am member of the NG (17 years) and a FedTech. I am also 100% SC P&T by the VA. I was found unfit by the Army with an LOD and have to make a choice on how to proceed, either MEB or Retired Reserves. I do not want to go through the VA ratings again so I am thinking about choosing Retired...

I am new to the forum. Sorry if my post goes back and fourth between topics. There seems to be a lot of knowledge here and I hope I can get some direction/answers. Thanks to all of you who read and advise me. I am currently a member of the NG (17 Years) and have been referred to the MEB. I...

Went to get my official NARSUM yesterday and spoke with the PEBLO about the LDES and IDES. I've been rated at 70% for a psychological condition since 2013 and the Air Guard finally got my records up to the active duty component handing the MEB/PEB process last month. I spoke with the OAC...

They say that knowledge is power, unfortunately when you have knowledge of how things should work and they don't it becomes VERY frustrating. What I have found is that the system is "Broken" at the VA and there are no consequence or recourse. The beginning of the MEB/PEB process went very...

Hello, Let me see if I can lay this out easily... A little over 6 years active Army (ETS was Nov. 2015); Currently serving in the TXARNG since Dec. 2015... Completed a VA claim prior to leaving active duty and was found 100%, not P&T, in March 2016 (completed C&P exams in Fall 2015); did not...

My husband was just awarded 40% for mental and wrist. He is still in the la national guard, in August he was on state orders for the flood for a few weeks. I know that you have to waive either va pay or drill pay because you can't be paid both. But state orders aren't federal pay so would he...

Hi, new here but been trying to read up. My husband is national guard. Got out reenlisted last year. OEF 11-12. He's suffered with depression and alcohol/drug abuse since returning. Finally got into SUDS program over the summer and doing slightly better. Decided to file for compensation since he...

Hi. My husband is a sgt in the laang. He spent a year in Afghanistan and sustained an injury to his wrist and also recently diagnosed with ptsd. He got out of the guard last year then got back in a few months later. He also recently sought treatment for his alcohol problems through the SUDS...

I am in the begging stages of going through the MEB process. As of now it looks like I will end up with a PTSD rating of at least 70% form the VA, which is the reason for the MEB. After all the other issues I have I will most likely be at 100% but at least 90% from the VA. Now, the question I...

I am creating this thread to consolidate and capture the discussion about the NBC story on this issue. I do not mean to limit or otherwise impede the previous discussion that has already occurred on this topic...

Hello everyone. I have a quick question. I am a 31 year old veteran in the Missouri National Guard. I was diagnosed with some serious heart/lung problems (stage one heart failure/pulmonary hypertension) that have cause me to be found unfit for duty during my last PHA. I was recently told that I...
