Better to report medical conditions while still in military!

Question

I just wanted to let active military personal know that its a lot better to have any and all medical conditions reported or Documented while your still in the military.
Do not Put off going to the Docs while your still in the military, a lot of us older Nam Vets put off going to the dispensary or sick call for aches and pains for (proud reasons or that it was just something we chalk up not to seek medical help .
and THAT is a BIG MISTAKE
...for compensation claims purposes later on down the road after your out if you had any of your conditions documented while in military no matter what it is.. it makes it a lot easier for service connection to be established. if you ever come down with something that you had while in the military or it gets a lot worse
so while your still active in military if you have any medical condition that you get while serving go see the Dr's you maybe glad you did in the future and it sure could help your life for the better.

Buck. I just saw this, and agree with you totally. Veterans exiting the Military Service need evidence of any injury, illness, or disease that they were diagnosed or treated for while in the mili

I can still hear my D.I.s and NCOIC saying be a man and HACK IT. Also to honor your commitment to the U.S. Armed Services. Now many years later, it all seems like a bunch of B.S. while I fight to get

Yes I agree it would be better to document the medical issues while you are still in service, but even then that doesn't mean a claim will be granted. In My time, sleep apnea and PTSD did not ev
