Question
rdmckeown
Hello All. My name is Ryan McKeown. I have been out of the military since 2002. I was discharged with a General Under Honorable Conditions classification due to alcohol dependency. I self medicated myself with Alcohol during my 4 years in the Army. I was a great soldier but had mental issues that I was covering up with Alcohol. My superiors worked hard to get me this discharge as they knew I was a great soldier. I suffer from PTSD/depression from a non combat incident that happened when I was in-processing my first and only duty station, Ft. Stewart, GA. I never out-processed fully as my alcohol issues landed me in jail and I was out-processed while in jail. I am trying to make a claim now and I still have my medical records. Who do I turn them into so that they can be put into the system or do I hold onto them? Thank you all for whatever help I can get. I do appreciate it.

rdmckeown, Welcome to Habit. First and foremost under no circumstances ever, do you give your originals to anyone!!! They very well may disappear for good. Then you will truly be between a rock and

welcome and good luck. I would scan your records, much easier to keep back ups digital, and cheaper, too.
