    Question about CBHCO Soldier

    Soldiers assigned to CBHCO are actually "Attached", not "Assigned". They are "Assigned" to the parent unit. Units are still responsible for manning and tracking them. Double slotting is not possible in this case. Units can overslot positions up to E-6 at a rate of up to 125% of authorized...

    VA Rehabilitation program

    Don't think you will be able to do that either. You can only utilize a total of 36 months for GI Bill. If you utilize a combination of two chapters, say Ch 30 (Active Duty) and Ch 1606 (Select Reserve), then you get a total of 48 months. Given that VA Vocational Rehabilitation is Ch 31, it...

    Need answers.

    Don't let it get to you bubba. You have to treat this as buisness. Can't take it personal. I know this is easier said than done however it really is the best approach. You see, in the Guard (I am assuming you are in the Guard as you referred to MMRB), there is a serious lack of knowledge...

    the fight for whats right

    Air Assault, I would be very careful in who you label as "Fakers". I do not believe you are in any position to be making such judgements. During WWII soldiers saw an average of 40 days of combat over 4 years, in Vietnam, it averaged 230 days in one year. When this war is over, I suspect the...

    This will be very beneficial to servicemembers. Some of the stories and feeds relay laymans terminology and information to disease processes that service members may not ordinarily understand. Sometimes SM will not understand the severity of some conditions nor will they comprehend how some...

    Need Immediate help/IPEB review places me on TDRL regarding sleep apnea

    Restless Leg Syndrome is rated as analogus to Convulsive Tic. However you may want to differentiate whether it is RLS or Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD). I made this mistake at the VA. I told them I had RLS and they rated me as mildm however it was really PLMD and my neurologist lists...

    Vocational Rehab

    As a caveat however, I don't think it would be very much different if you didn't know what you wanted to do. It would just entail a few more steps in getting there. Michael

    Vocational Rehab

    Sorry for the long delay, been in class all day. It all went really quite quickly and relatively painless to be honest which suprised me. I happened to be at DAV which is right down the hall from the VARO and he showed me how to put in an application. So I walked down the hall and put the...

    Tony, Remember this was only a MMRB for the RC so it is really not all inclusive nor binding but I only average one prostrating attack per month which they said can be worked around even though my MOS is 11B (infantryman). Guy Yes it feels better to finally have the process STARTED. I...

    Shocking denial of rights!

    All, Just an update to the case. I stood the MMRB today and was referred to the PDES. Declared unfit for retention for PTSD and Cardiomyopathy. OSA and Migraine didn't make the cut. It's a good starting point. Ready to move forward. Bowiesoldier
