This might sound crazy but I feel like I could have finished my 20 years and gotten my real retirement. Is it possible to rejoin the military if I was medically retired?

During my time in the military I found MTF psychiatrists to be obsessed with my mental health diagnosis at the expense of me feeling better. They “diagnosed” me with 4 personality disorders despite me not meeting the criteria for any personality disorder. Now, a few months after being medically...

I was med boarded for bilateral hip injuries and medically retired a few months ago. My rating is 100% P&T, 30% DOD PDRL. I am having my first hip surgery in a few months, can I get my hip rating to be a temporary 100%, since I’ll be recovering from surgery? If so, if I am temporarily at 100%...

The narrative on my DD-214 (for my reason for separation) says “Disability, Permanent.” Does anyone know if this is the correct narrative? The VA rep is saying that in order to be eligible for my GI bill it needs to say “medical discharge.” However, when I Google possible narratives, it...

I will have Tricare thankfully due to getting PDRL but even when I was active duty, I went out in town and tried to get therapy with Tricare but no one was really competent to treat PTSD, so I gave up on getting therapy. But now that im out of the military I realize I could use some mental...

A year ago today I was an inpatient in a military psych ward, frightened and heavily medicated. Today I medically retired. Life can change around and be wonderful. I’m still working toward recovery but I have hope for the future. Just don’t lose hope.

Throughout the check out process, my command has had me fill out various questionnaires asking me where I will move to. I did some more research and decided I would, in fact, like to move out of the area. However on these questionnaires I wrote down I'd be staying in the area. I asked someone...

I’m in a fairly unique situation and would appreciate any assistance brainstorming ideas what to do. First of all I am single with no friends or family in the area. I will need multiple major surgeries. I was medically retired for my issues, PDRL. I am not concerned with VA disability, I have...

OK, please delete if this is not allowed. I went through a lot of mental anguish in the military and have hopes my PTSD will calm down after I leave. The med board process was extremely stressful for me. I enrolled in college starting only a few weeks after I leave the military. My academic...
