Question
brad
In 1965, I was declared 4F while trying to join the Marines. The 4F was due to a physical disability. In 1967 , I receieved an induction notice. I informed the military of the 4F status(they could not find paperwork) and noted the physical disability on my application. I was allowed to join the Marines. During boot camp this physical disability was detected again. I was allowed the complete boot camp but was exposed to considerable humiliating remarks by my drill instructor due to my disability.. A year later this physical disability was detected again. I was sent to the Naval Hospital in bethesda(mispelled) maryland for evaluation. It was deternmine that I was pysically disable to remain in the military and discharged under honorable conditions by reason of physically disable.
After discussing this matter with many veterans of this period, I believe that I am entitle to disability compensation because they acepted me as an able body indivual but dischaged me as disable. I realize this is a very touches subject but I do need some input from my fellow veterans. Remember todays vets were treated better ( still a lot the desired) than our Vets of my era due to their efforts to fight for better treatment and what is right. During my era I did not know any better but today I feel enlighten and must atlease try and get what I think is due to me.
My disability is I can not turn my hands palms which means I am not combat ready.
Thanks to all Email me for any advice
