Long time lurker but after reading a lot of different posts on this forum and gaining very valuable information I wanted to share my current timeline/story.
In Apr 2018 at 16 TIS I was told I was being placed on a Code 37. It has been a long road since.
I still don't know if I will make it to 20 years, but I feel I have a fighting chance now.
Plus COVID-19 STOP MOVEMENT threw me a bone by increasing the amount of use/lose leave I can carry over.
My current boardable conditions are PSORIASIS, PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS, FIBROMYALGIA and being evaluated for nerve damage/compression stemming from past surgeries/injuries.
