Can a National Guard soldier with less than 15 years of service (30%+ va rating) be medically retired?
Ron,I agree. Good note about TERA; it is often overlooked.
Posted earlier: "CH 61 retirees who qualify for another type retirement at the time of the CH 61 retirement might qualify for CRDP which is another matter. CRDP restores waived retired pay for those with ratings 50% or more by the VA. It cannot exceed the dollar amount of the longevity portion of the retired pay."

"You can read about CRDP and CRSC at https://www.dfas.mil/dfas/retiredmilitary/disability/payment.html "

got word that my Command is going to push my disabilities to thw board as "non-duty related". Is it worth fighting the fight to convince them otherwise? Their line of thinking is that I became disabled in my prior service contract so it's a pre-existing conditionCan a National Guard soldier with less than 15 years of service (30%+ va rating) be medically retired?
