    Med board vs. ETS

    Tracking brother. I have been recommended for MEB....BUT my 'unit' has sat on my paperwork for now for months and doesn't look like it will process. So this leaves me with the option to re-enlist to go for the board at a different unit or ETS. Thank you for the response.

    Med board vs. ETS

    Hello all. Does anyone know if a med board is more beneficial than ETS'ing? Say i ETS and get a 30% rating from VA. Would it be more beneficial to get med boarded and get a 30% rating? I ask because Im trying to decide on re-enlisting or not.

    Should I or should'nt I?

    There really is no way i could make it that long. After reading my own posts, its pretty obvious what i would tell someone in my situation. Im still curious though if there are any benefits to a med board beyond a faster VA rating and no more dealing with pain. Really do appreciate the insight...

    Should I or should'nt I?

    Hello, I was recently informed by my ortho that he would be suggesting a MEB to my primary care doc. Upon returning to my primary care doc, I was told that I dont really HAVE to go through with the process. I am in alot of pain daily and I believe further time in the Army would lead to...
