I am an Army Captain with 11 years of service, 4 enlisted and 7 commissioned. I have two combat deployments and multiple operational deployments. Up to this February, I had never had any blemishes on my record. However, I made a bad choice and got a DUI and am currently pending NJP. I have already received the first reading for my Article 15, also received a GOMOR. No determination has yet been made regarding the filing or the punishment.
I am currently in a DoD treatment facility for alcholism, as I have been diagnosed with PTSD and severe alcoholism. I have been sober for three months. I also have arthritis in my knees, feet, and shoulders, a bulging disc in my neck, pulmonary issues, and have a surgery scheduled for rotator cuff surgery. I am looking for informed answers regarding the liklehood that I might be able to have a med-board initiated in order to medically retire. I understand that I must serve any punishment that might be levied.
Any well informed insight would be helpful. Thanks.
V/R,
Ben
