My guard unit is puting me through a non-duty DES for sleep apnea and depression. I will have 15 good years next April. I have a mix of active duty and guard time, though none of it was in support of OIF/OEF (I did not deploy overseas).
The medical unit gave me letters to send to my civilian doc's to get narrative summaries on my conditions. I have been taking Prozac for years, but do not go through any counseling or anything like that. I'm not sure they can get me on Depression. The sleep apea is OSA and I have a pretty high AHI number that requires the MEB.
Am I going to get administratively discharged? Is there a way for me to get retirement if I am over 15 years? My medical group and the FSS people say no that is not possible. They say that progam ended in 1999 (retiring between 15-20 years from the reserves).
I'd hate to make it this far and lose out on getting base priviliges (we use it a lot) and healthcare when I turn 60.
Thanks,
Cory
