Fight them tooth and nail if you have to. Everything you get out of the Military will help your case when you get out. If it means a full medical retirement or them sending you out with a % of disability hire the attorney and get the full amount. Make sure when you do get out make two additional copies of your medical record and have the clinic certify every page to be a true copy and initial it.

As a retire USN, 60% disabled Vet in 1995. Let me give you a little advice.
1. Do not deal with the VA Hospital in White City. waste of your time. I go there now and I am trying to figure out how to go back to Portland or to Roseburg. They are better, maybe not much better but better.
2. I you need help getting anything done thur the VA Claims The DAV is pretty good about helping you out.
3. the VA is slow, it took me a year one time and 1 1/2 the next time
4. I am sure that you have hearing loss, make sure they do it for both ears. My ringing is terrible and it is all due to sitting in the Aux Machine room for 20 years. listening to running equipment.
5. I have other advice to give but not in an open forum if you want it.

Good Morning.
So what is everyone doing this Hollows Eve weekend?
myself, replacing the bushing on the front leaf springs and stopping down at the Eagles Club for a bit of refreshments and a slow game of Shuffle Board.
Maybe give our a treat or two on Sunday Night.
Don't let the Ghost and Goblins get you..........

Morning Walt. Nothing much going on here. I live 10 miles from the nearest town, so no trick or treaters! I'm just working on getting the 67 front-end rebuilt. May work on finishing up my 96 4X4.
