Thanks for the heads up. I’ve heard that through the process it’s all about paperwork, paperwork, and having a personal copy of that paperwork. Cast or tab aside I’d never want to be a liability to anyone, especially with stakes this high and would have no problem walking away if I was really broken. However I’ve heard of several cases from fellow soldiers that with the influx of new veterans that unwarranted benefits are readily assigned. Speaking with my friend, who has cortisone shots on a regular basis and personally being a former leg with now funky and crooked toes, I can understand how taxing to the body training can be but he seems to think that physically I can hang. It is what it is. I’ve decided that I should just follow through with the VA and let the chips fall where they land. I was just on the lookout for some guidance from someone who has experienced a similar circumstance. Thanks for the help guys and I god bless the U.S.A. Since I’m on here I’d like to include the quote that helped illuminate my path. I found this in a magazine I was reading during my tour in Afghanistan.
“It’s not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with the sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause and who, at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
