Hey I just had a question, have any of you gone to the VA after your EAS and gotten a VA physical and made a claim?
When I got out I did the 90 day early out thing last year (my sister was dying of cancer and I had barely seen her much since I was stationed on the other side of the country) and I pretty much told the doc at medical that I was 100% good to go, because at the time I didn't have any real aches and pains.
Well fast forward a year and I'm being more active again and all the pains I used to have after humps and 10 mile boots and utes runs are back, sharp pains in my knees and heels and my wife keeps telling me to try and see the VA to get it on my record in case I need any medical attention in the future for it.
So have any of you actually gone to the VA after your EAS and tried to make a claim? Supposedly you can but I just figured I'd ask before I start tearing into something that might involve a lot of paperwork and not be effective.
