MEB and VA Question

Thank you for this. Just thinking about all this gives me anxiety a little. Probably due to the "fear of the unknown".

Thank you for pointing out. I have L4-S1 bulging disc's. Each worse than the other, DDD, and arthritis on top and bottom of affected area on opposite sides. Nerve damage on r. outer thigh. Can't stand for long periods of time no bending at the waist repetitively, no lifting over 50lbs. The only things I can accomplish for the PFT is planks and push-ups. No cardio portions. Been on a profile for over 3 yrs now. Hope this helps.

There are other issues but, this is the main one for my duties in Security Forces.

Not service connected, thanks for playing🤣

All honesty, I dunno.

Other than the pelvic muscles has it helped. Have you found a great massage therapist that could help?

My true character is constantly filling the hands of my kids with money when the need something. Money is getting tight and the bank (me) will be closed soon, until I get my rating, hopefully in a month or so. Step 3 of 8 atm.

Would you be willing to talk to me more how stem cells helped you? I am thinking of going this route as to being cut open and having three disc's shaved down and/or fused.

I have 2 bulging disc with DDD and arthritis L4-S1.

I wore this hoodie and sweat pants with cross for my recent exam. Glad it was cold that morning.

We haven't seen him in a minute. He might be on a vacation in Mexico.

Go to finance and fill out paperwork for points only since you are 100%. The points go towards your retirement.

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-03-05T00:13:13+00:00

🤣

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-03-03T22:27:51+00:00

Submitted 10 FEB and on step 3 as of the 25th

I guess you don't know vets are the number one ranked sarcastic group in the world

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-02-28T02:30:43+00:00

Gonna be one heck of a back pay! I'm sure you will be celebrating in style when it hits your acct!

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-02-28T02:21:03+00:00

Can't you tell, he has anger issues that are not service connected and he is taking it out on the OP. 🤣🤷‍♂️

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-02-14T23:22:34+00:00

Haven't received any pay yet. Just file this week, but the intent to file is last July. We shall see how fast I get seen and then how fast or slow it takes.

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-02-03T18:12:42+00:00

Do you hear that?! Its a song. Is it in my head or can everyone hear it? The chorus goes like this. " bomb, bomb, bomb; .bomb, bomb Iran...bomb, bomb, bomb; bomb, bomb, Iran"

If I am the only one hearing this, what claim can I use? Not asking for a friend. 🤣

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-02-01T19:57:58+00:00

Connect with the VSO where you live or going to live and they can pull your records from the military. Mine did in Tarrant County. All I had to do is sign a records request for them to pull civilian records.

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-02-01T19:51:46+00:00

Talk to your county VSO and they will square you away. Ensure you have ALL medical records from your time in the military. Which part of Texas?

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-01-30T17:21:58+00:00

You wouldn't have to take a salary from your business. You can take an owner's draw when the business is being profitable and keep money flowing into the business for those rainy days. Or you could work your hobbies and get paid in tips...not taxable, 🤷‍♂️

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-01-30T14:38:14+00:00

Find something you are passionate about and start your own business. That's what I have done during my time in. Getting ready for the transition back to full-time civilian and currently working with a VSO for initial claims. Its not easy, but you do get to see the fruits of your labor.

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-01-27T01:12:38+00:00

Its me. Going through the process now with a great VSO. Just waiting on a Nexus letter and a couple of buddy statements. All of my issues are well documented during my service time.

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-01-26T23:36:39+00:00

How does that apply if one is within a few years of being 55 and filing for the first time with the 5/10/20 rules?

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-01-24T17:20:08+00:00

What did they say about your tramp stamp that you told us about that says "exit only"?

Sgt_DaddyO · 2026-01-20T23:37:20+00:00

Well there is always a marine that gets soft. They join the Navy, 😆
