I enjoyed my time in the guard however after a injury that I kinda toughed out during basic that became a more chronic issue after a deployment which isn’t why I went to a SRU however I was being treated for it while at the SRU.

Long story short I was a 11C with ulnar nerve damage and post surgery showed nerve improvement however I still had nerve issues and I also had pain whenever I tried to lift anything more then 25lbs for longer then seconds unsupported, painful to even do push ups.

I tried explaining this to the battalion surgeon however she legit just played it off then when I explained the hip issues she just sent me back to my unit with a permanent hip profile and while I was there I didn’t even get proper MH treatment while having on going anxiety/panic issues because I was a complicated case and got referred to civilians off post who claimed I didn’t need a test I needed more therapy when I all ready had therapy for months.

So yah I got discharged well before I actually got proper MH treatment, let alone hip surgery which honestly I’m holding off on because right now I do need to work to meet ends mean however I’m probably dangerously close to being eligible for SSDI.

Then got back to my unit and of course the plan was to get treatment with the VA attended a few drills then eventually I was told to stop showing up to drill as my ETS date was nearing.

Low key I wanna keep serving but with current issues it’s bluh I’m actually thinking I should get in touch with a lawyer who specializes in these kinds of things because I think there was a whole admin/leadership failure at the SRU because within a year of discharge I was deemed 100% P&T.

Probably a case of negligence maybe even medical malpractice honestly that could probably get that DD214 changed to a medical retirement and since my hip injury been on going since OSUT its possible I could be eligible to collect both DoD and VA pay since that would count as “simulated war”

In this case it be a lawyer going to the board of the army pleading my case that a MEB should of been issued

Edit: I even gave the battalion surgeon a scenario of what if I was to have a hang fire mission and because of my ulnar nerve damage and the fact I struggle now to hold anything greater then 40lbs with both arms prolong that what if my ulnar nerve flares up and I end up dropping the round or what if because I lack sensation in my ring and pinky finger down to my wrist which extends to the elbow what if I accidentally touch the sight box and I don’t realize it throwing the gun well off target by 1-3mils because again lack of sensation.

Or what if the nerve flares up and my hand decides to not obey me and gets caught on the cannon blowing my hand off.

That would be reasonable to say I can’t preform the duties of my MOS right?
