Question
triggertre
First post,
The Background:
Georgia National Guard Infantry gunner with one tour in Afghanistan 2009-2010. Servicemember since DEC2007.
I am currently serviced-connected with 100% PTSD, 30% Degenerative Arthritis, 10% Thoracolumbar Issues, 10% Bilateral Tinnitus, 0% Bilateral Epicondylitis, 0% Minor Hearing Loss .
I also have been diagnosed with bilateral cervical radiculopathy due to back issues (but was told its a mute point since I am well over 100% rating and thus has not been service-connected).
I have not drilled in over a year due to my medical issues. I had recieved notice from the VA than I was honorably discharged back in AUG2012, but the ARNG didn't get the memo and my command recently decided I need to go before a MEB for proper out-processing. I am on a 6-2 enlistment with 6 active drilling and 2 inactive. My 6 years of active drilling is complete this DEC2013.
The Concern:
My question is what should I expect? Will this adversely affect me? I am certain I will be medically discharged due to my high service connected ratings. I already receive 100% service-connected VA Compensation, but what benefits do I retain from the guard if I am medically retired due to my service-connected disibilities. I only have 5.5 years in and about 13 months of those are active duty.
thank you in advance.
