and i am a civilian. my millitary carreer comes to an end on 10/12/08
some of you remember me having back to back knee surgerys on both left and right knees. 6/24 and 9/24 2007. as of april 7 2008 doc and i desided that though the surgerys did help and made life more cofortable i would not be fit enough for the Navy and it wasnt for me any more thus we and put in a package for a medical discharge under Hounorable conditions.

the Physical Evaluation Board results came back today. 20% disability, severance check and a medical discharge. so with in 42 days i will be a civilain again for the first time in over 8 years 6 months.

the good thing about this. is
1 i can get some debt knocked out gettting closer to debt free goal.
2 get my truck up and running again
3 i will have a terminal date..(10/12/08) meaning i can actually bother to fill out aplications
4 take a real vacation

so that is what is going on with me havent been around alot latley...

I would go for 100% as soon as you get out, you can still work, but with the benefits for you and the family, there is no substitute!!!! and itr is not as hard as some think!!! I was discharged in 1994 the same way, 20% under Honorable conditions, I even got my Honorable Certificate from my C.O., but I waited until 2001 to seek an increase when my back got worse and the doctor at the VA hospital told me I should have tried for the increase immediately after being discharged... I get a total of $52,000 a year now, and can still work some, I can't physically handle working all of the time, (the back is just too bad) but I can make some extra with some bus things I have started and not lose my pension! It may take a little time, but you have nothing to lose!!!

Thanks for your service and sacrifice!!!

i know just waiting for time lines to fall. i am already in the VA's system.

You mean you have to be active to buy stuff at the PX/BX? I know several people who are ex-military and still shop at the PX/BX.
