What I wish I did before I got out of the military is make sure I got checked out by medical. You are going to need your medical documents and service records. You are also going to need buddy statements because things tend to be classified. You also need to be treated by the VA. If you fell or got hurt document, it. When you turn 40 the back pain will start, and you may get flash backs of past Trama. It is very important to link it to your time in service.

Get Copies of all Personnel & Medical Records and DD214. Make another ELECTRONIC copy of these and place in a SECURE Online Service. I needed mine at age 56 which is far from my age 20 something self and time frame. Blessings

Any advice on claiming disability? I have had some back and hip pain but haven’t got checked up for it yet. I have a year left on my contract and don’t want it to seem like I’m lying.
