Hey guys, I've made a bit of a hobby out of talking people through boards mostly on Reddit by discussing their process with them and directing them here. There's a real chance that a few of you reading this that came from Reddit were directed to some of my threads on the board process. An issue...

AFAIK if you're 100% P&T you're eligible for a tax free loan discharge of federal student loans. From what I understood on FSA's website this is a tax free benefit until December of 2025, and if it isn't extended will be taxed from that point on. My question is this: If an individual like...

Hey guys, wanted to just discuss a HUGE benefit that really should be required reading in my opinion in conjunction with all the medboard shenanigans. Short synopsis on me: I medically retired on July 30th from the Marine Corps. My timelines are posted elsewhere on this forum. * The following...

Hey guys, I have my timeline posted elsewhere but this concern is specific to CRSC. My lawyer is pretty far removed from my process, he's not really involved and has already implied he won't be involved until the end of my case. Straight to the point: my injury incident happened in MCT, a...

I've attached a PII redacted version of my meb referral VA exam. Wanna know what I ought to expect and how I oughta prepare. I've posted my timeline but I can't shake the nerves about this exam no matter what I do. Just wanna hear some input from other people.

Hoping to get some clarity on a scenario I was given advice on. I have buddy letters from my wife and from a good friend in the Army stating that I had issues that refer to my claimed conditions with no medical evidence. I'm on my medboard and I'm hoping this will be enough to establish service...
