After reading USAF-Vet's post and the following replies, there is good info there.
With my reconsideration, all I could do was send some BVA citations for lack of smr's for Vets that won their cases using 3.304 (d). There is no record of me being in the hospital in Vietnam although I spent 12 days there. The NPRC has no record of me being in the hospital but my letterhead from the hospital awarding a PH. But, during my c&p from qtc, the doctor cited an "in service note for frag wounds, blah blah" the day after I was wounded. The BS w/V award stated I was thrown to the ground, which according to the CDC, is a tertiary blast effect.
So, I'm wondering how a doctor giving a c&p that is only given your entrance and exit exams and fed what info the VA wants them to see can make a decision on my neck. He never got to see the BS w/V or knew I was Airborne or CIB. If he had access to the award he could have seen we were thrown to the ground in a ambush, more like launched. I guess after they deny the reconsideration I see an IME in my future.

Sorry to hear of your issues bud. I had a few injuries and sicknesses in OIF/OEF, and a few of them were nowhere in my record. Luckily my Unit Doc at the time, was a Reservist and worked full time on
