    LOD For PTSD

    Individual specifics are best left to our legal teams or advocates. I can say VA has done their part on my behalf. And I would say mental disorders are complex in the whole DOD system. I would let your doctors know exactly what is wrong, the best you can. But make sure all those documents go to...

    LOD For PTSD

    I think i would hire an attorney like Mr. Perry from the beginning if I had to do it over again. But i can say that the Air Force Wounded Warriors are a very good resource. I would reach out to them and seek consultation.

    LOD For PTSD

    You are correct, I think discussing individual details of our disabilities would be best suited with a lawyer, doctor or other advocates on our side. I just feel the processes are very hard to understand and i have been going through the process for 20 months and I'm still left bewildered and...

    LOD For PTSD

    An “In the line of duty” is something where an injury occurred during military status. It allows that condition to be considered during the Informal and formal Physical evaluation board. if it is the reason you are being medically non retained then it can be legally considered on your DOD...

    LOD For PTSD

    JAG is directed to give advice in the best interest of the gaining unit. Which in turn pits an individual service member’s disabilities against the board. The structure is flawed. If a service member such as myself expresses these issues, it better serves us all. I’m an open book as should all...

    LOD For PTSD

    I would say that we have a voice. Incriminating would be if I done something wrong IMO. I have been very open and honest about everything so why would incrimination be of concern? I just

    Being investigated by OSI

    It's interesting the stark contrast in relation to the JAG of each base. I've been amazed at the lack of advocacy and clear direction from differing commands. My whole base was briefed by JAG and he made it clear that he was not there for the members. But was there to help command post and their...

    Being investigated by OSI

    JAG is not there for you in almost any circumstance. Their primary role is to protect and guide command. Your reserve commands medical section is your best advocate. Airman Defense Counsel will only talk to you when you are on a certain title of orders. If there is any judicial proceedings...

    How initiate an MEB in the guard?

    Hey dogboy, I would continue with what you are doing. Being honest about your symptoms and how they pertain to you socially and occupationally. Include severity, variety, frequency of all your symptoms. The biggest thing is the CAPS5 PTSD test. Find a medical facility that has this test. This...

    Active injuries do not count in the line of duty for medical retirement

    Check 42, I see parallels with your story and mine. I am trying to navigate around and found others who have already been down this path. I had 6 years active duty Air Force and then I joined the ANG with no break in service. The Line of Duty appears to be the best option going forward and is...
