I crushed two discs in my back while in Bosnia in a HMMWV. The AF was in charge of the PEB's back then and they flagged my a$$ for immediate medical seperation due to the extent of the injury...didnt matter that within months I was back to a 300 PFT. I wrote letters to theCMC, SgtMajUSMC, Prez, VP, every Senator, Governor, Congressman, Sec Def, and anyone else I thought mightl listen.. I guess they got tired of getting my letters, so while I was waiting for the appeals process the Sgt Maj Overstreet 'asked' my CO if I could come work for him to 'keep me out of trouble'. I didnt really have a choice. But, then again, I would have gladly gone back to the field with my brothers...you play the hand dealt ya, right? I spent two years with him, really, the best two years of my life. I learned alot about being a Marine from him. I was an O3 then, and before I could go to work for him I had to go through the VIP protection course first...Try being a Lcpl in a classfull of SrNCO's! I felt like a puppy in the middle of a pack of wolves!

Discharged medically at 60%, still pi$$ed about it.

Well brother I am sorry to hear about your situation. I am glad at least they are some what taking care of you. I am still fighting with the VA. Still sounds like you had a good gig. Being ****ed don't do you any good. You should be grateful, I know Marines and others that can't get a darn thing from the VA and some of these guys been trying since Vietnam some from GWI so count your blessings.

OH, dont get me wrong! I am very grateful that I havent had the nightmare experiences with the VA like others here have. I would gladly trade it all to have stayed in our Beloved Corps though...I'm good to go!
