MrStryker Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 My uncle was in basic training and was discharged for hearing back in 72. He received an honorable discharge according to his DD214. Would there be a claim based on the presumption of soundness? I haven't seen any of the entrance exams other than his DD214. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard1954 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 There really isn't enough information to make an informed opinion... however, an education guess would be ....if he was discharged during basic training unless the hearing loss occurred in basic I doubt be would be entitled to compensation.

What section of the regulation covers basic training? I was surprised the DD214 shows honorable with a good conduct medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted July 4, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not enough info. If he was discharged in basic, there should be a code number that explains why. It could be honorable, I suppose, but it usually was general under honorable conditions i.e. medical reasons (again, there should be a code on it. As for gcm, no way. He didn't go the full amount of time to earn it. Doesn't sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bwaveteran Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Probably he got an ELS discharge? Honorable for basic training is like unheard of but, it was the 70s so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
MrStryker
My uncle was in basic training and was discharged for hearing back in 72. He received an honorable discharge according to his DD214.
Would there be a claim based on the presumption of soundness? I haven't seen any of the entrance exams other than his DD214.
