My husband is an Active Duty Army National Guard officer. After a vision disturbance, he had some brain scans done which apparently point to likely MS. He will be undergoing more tests over the next few weeks to figure out if that is indeed the diagnosis.
Does anyone know the likelihood that he'll be able to stay in? Right now the visual disturbance has been his only symptom (he's had headaches but we're not sure if they are related). He had an incident with numbness 10 years ago which the doctor thinks was likely an episode.
At this point he has no problems with motor function. He works out all the time and has regularly maxed out the PT test. He wants to stay in. He considers the military his career and is up for promotion soon. Will a diagnosis of MS automatically force him out?
Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.
