i have not been able to find anyone else on here dealing with anuerysms but im hoping someone can help me anyway. my husband has an aortic anuerysm (3.8 cm), too small to operate on but becasue he has it he is told they will likely give him a 100% disability rating. im afraid that they can always say it was not service related and give him nothing. he has only been in the service for 2 years and has been on profile for the last year. we were told that he is likely to get retirment despite only having served for so little time. we were told that the decisions had been coming back quickly, in 6 - 8 weeks, but it has been 8 weeks and still we havent heard anything. he called to see if he could get an update but they could not/would not tell him anything. all they said was that they had nothing for him yet.
along with his anuerysm they have given him an "almost positive" diagnosis of marfans syndrome.
he is supposed to put on SrAmn at the end of the month but his shirt thinks that he is no longer eligible because of the med board.
his profile limits everything he can do, basically he is restricted to desk work (he is security forces). he cannot PT or arm up. he cannot be a cop anymore, that much is clear, but if he gets seperated i dont know what will happen to us. he is not trained to be anything other than a cop and i have no work experience since im still going to college and wont be done for another 2 years. im worried and desperate for answers.
