URGENT ARMY UPDATE- ARMY OSC CUTS PRE-PEB LEGAL SERVICES; BOTH TDRL & RESERVE COMPONENT SOLDIERS CUT OFF ENTIRELY AS OF JULY 1, 2026

This is an urgent update for all Army soldiers - Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, & TDRL members going through the PEB process. Source: Office of the Judge Advocate General dtd 27 May 26.

1. ALL SOLDIERS: Effective immediately as of May 27, 2026, the Army's Office of Soldiers' Counsel (OSC) will no longer provide
legal services to Soldiers — regardless of component — prior to the Informal PEB stage. This means that Soldiers undergoing
MEB processing, IMR preparation, and rebuttal submission will no longer have access to OSC representation during those critical phases.

2. RESERVISTS AND GUARDSMEN: Beginning July 1, 2026 — two days from today — OSC will cease providing legal services to Reserve
Component Soldiers entirely, including those on active-duty orders of fewer than 30 days. This restriction
applies to both duty-related and non-duty-related DES cases at all stages.

3. ACTIVE DUTY SOLDIERS: For Active-Duty Soldiers, once Informal PEB findings are received, OSC services will generally be limited to a
single legal consultation appointment.

4. TDRL SOLDIERS: The Army also ended OSC representation for TDRL members, including at formal hearings. These changes are
driven by staffing shortages within OSC.

5. SUMMARY: While these changes will not affect my clients, as I like to take cases on at the MEB stage, they will impact all soldiers going through the PEB process without counsel now or in the near future. As an attorney who has been practicing in this area of law for more than 25 years, I have never seen the Army withdraw legal services from so many soldiers in one fell swoop. It will place soldiers at a distinct disadvantage compared to their peers in the Navy & Marine Corps, Air Force & Space Force, & Coast Guard.

I am shocked! What was the Army leadership thinking?

Very interesting. Is this reflected in the DOD DES instructions?

in the richest nation ever in the history of the world
under the watch of the Department of War, in the richest country in the history of the world and universe,
Donald Trump (a guy who grew up on foods stamps with a injured uncared for forgotten war vat father?????? similar to Aaron Hassay)
God Bless Donald Trump and Joe Biden, His family and soul, with 5 deferments and 6 differnments respectively, to Vietnam (maybe they knew something the rest of the kids did not who were put in the military)
So know you see a attempt to keep someone uneducated and unaware about the most important thing, the consequence of having a dangerous job in the military, Gettin injured while doing a job that your government assigns you.
HMMMMM Why don't they teach you military disability injury processes and benefits etc in bootcamp???????
HMMMMM I wonder??? Just one class maybe?????
HMMM what about all other employees including federal FBI etc..probalby have a federal employment rights poster in their break room...righta and benefits..hmmmmmm...
At WILL EMPLLYMENT FOR ALL THOSE other employees...
but you in the military?
good luck-get your ass kicked in bootcamp as a introduction-stop asking questions-get no education on your own rights-doctors ignore you as they have no ultimate responsibility due the FERES doctrine-
-you can even attempt a branch transfer, as you can not resign from the military voluntarily like at will employment at the FBI, to get out of some terrible situation you can not stand, which you find out many years later is a experiment to underman your combat unit, compared fully manned units, which is short lived and shut down it and still be patriotic
The VA will screw with you because they use your lack of medical care and evidence in service to discount any connection and relevance to your need for help as they actually document you are in civilian hospitals for the same problem without Any recognition from he VA or the Branch you served

It gets worse from there
Pro Bono Lawyers get involved because your case has merit

who wants to leave those in the street without support?

The government the VA the DOD seemingly will deny you time and time again..as they say many things, and even target your Rserve Contract as not having anything past 30 days active duty orders over 8 years

They have to fight the governments lawyers, the DOJ, who are actively and fully trying to whitewash...almost any responsibly financial to any negligence or harm, from vaccine injures on vaccines that are forced on you, to military pay where you got no help or benefits for decades and you know are finally knowledgeable that you deserve help as a honorable service member in some crazy realities they put you in, in the court of federal claims

--------------------------------



Aaron Hassay Navy Board of Corrections and Federal Court SnipEts are right here. Look at the ability to throw someone under the bus. I do not have a dd214, while they say I do have one, but the BVA etc verified I do not, which screwed me at the VA, for all the benefits including housing and medical access,

The literally targeted my contract, because I did nothing wrong. Imagine if I did one thing wrong like not show up duty over those 8 years?

Not yet, but Army personnel will learn about this when they attempt to use the OSC counsel in the early stages of the IDES process

Got to say sorry to the world...I mean I feel like I am like having some mental crisis ...just being in court...about military benefits for injury...for way too long...a literal 8 year battle....to cover the gap....of getting literally nothing.....not one counseling session...not one fraction of one percent of a penny worth of support....as if that was way to much to ask.....then you find out multiple agencies fumbled your attempted branch transfer....and then you see the real cover up boys ...start to find ways to discredit even that...I mean what is the sense of any kind of right or wrong...

certainly the judges and doj lawyers can insert their name for my name and walk away from literally years of support for occupational problem...and act like they could start their life ....


nope that judge ...that doj lawyer would find 100 ways to get pain and suffering and financial settlement if they had to suffer one day without support for a worker related injury...
