Pending VA visit vs. future in SOF

[Cold Steel]

I am at a crossroads right now and would appreciate some assistance. Previously I was on a deployment to Afghanistan as an 11b with 9 years in the NG. I had the chance to meet a few interesting guys during my time and finally found a group of people while in country that shared my opinions & philosophies towards warfare and life. I have been a silliyvan for 2 years now and miss the fulfillment of the mission and training. One of the friends I’d made offered me with an opportunity 1 year ago that I’d passed on at the time because I wasn’t ready for that commitment. Recently I’ve been looking again at a life aimed at SF or even in a CA unit. The problem that I’m facing is that I need to go to the VA before my 2 years of exit time window is up to document any problems for current and future ailments. I know my hearing isn’t great (M-2 gunner) and back, knees, ect. My fear is that they will put me on disability and blow any chance of returning to the fight. Will that bar me from gaining an 18x contract or are there waivers or hoops I can jump through in case they get “disability happy”. I value your help gentlemen.
