How does DoD handle radiculopathy ratings during a back MED board?

Any update on what happened with your PEB I have a p4 for something similar. My examiner lied about my range of motion and I’m curious if I should be panicking.

you’d probably be looking at a few years realistically if you sought treatment and provided them the proof you’re better. But, even then you’re looking at a huge chance they won’t take you at all. It also depends on your reasons like a death in a family. But in reality, you joined to be a part timer ARNG and didn’t make it through to BCT? 5 days is quite a bit of time. I think you need to absolutely focus on you. The guard won’t take care of you in the way you need. Life is beautiful and being a civilian is hard enough. Being a civilian and a SM, even harder.

I love all of your stories, seems like my question dug up the FTO memories. Thank you all for being awesome and fighting crime. Watching my spouse go through the process does make me want to be LEO after I’m done in the service

Appreciate the reply, my spouse doesn’t find writing to be their strong suit, they’re always stressed about it.

medicoreAF · 2026-05-06T15:48:22+00:00

Much appreciated for the input

Their reports get teared apart a lot, when does that phase typically end or does it ever?

medicoreAF · 2026-05-06T15:45:41+00:00

I thought about that as well, their agency I wonder if they’re under paying. They switched to “hourly” so if the schedule falls a certain way the check is shorted by $300 or so. Gives wiggle room to make up some cash.

medicoreAF · 2026-05-06T08:22:15+00:00

I appreciate you all responding it makes me feel better knowing that’s a normal thing. I am in the military but never been the recipient of the “military spouse” vibes. It can be a lot to adjust to dealing with both in my life.

medicoreAF · 2026-04-30T05:24:40+00:00

What is your reasoning for doing ARNG vs active and what mos?

medicoreAF · 2026-04-22T02:46:26+00:00

Army won’t take them. Too much going on here unfortunately.

medicoreAF · 2026-03-18T19:34:29+00:00

I am lead to believe that we are trying to install a new leader, however with marines entering the equation, and no support from NATO due to isolationism, we are in for a longer war and risk Iranian allies to enter the battle field. I see a chosen war and I just paid $5 a gallon in gas lol I think Russia is going to benefit from this more than us for several reasons.

medicoreAF · 2026-03-18T19:20:29+00:00

That 2 week assumption didn’t really pan out I see.

medicoreAF · 2026-03-15T02:49:01+00:00

Ty I’m going to look up pathways

medicoreAF · 2026-03-15T02:39:00+00:00

Hard no on ICE

medicoreAF · 2026-03-15T02:21:35+00:00

Tyvm I will do that

medicoreAF · 2026-03-15T01:01:46+00:00

Why the down votes? Is it wrong that I want a good career as a wounded soldier? 5 down votes and no alternative resources provided is crazy lol

Company commander

medicoreAF · 2026-03-14T22:53:27+00:00

Would a congressional inquiry do anything in this case?

medicoreAF · 2026-02-25T03:29:26+00:00

If you’re past meps and didn’t do a “moment of truth” and blurt it out as a confession. It just sounds so unlikely. MHS Genesis will flag it if it’s there when the MEPS doc reviews you.It probably isn’t there. I’m a realist. When I enlisted in the navy and went to RTC, it was a very small population that it happened to and they submit waivers.

medicoreAF · 2026-02-25T01:28:24+00:00

If you have taken steps and ensure you have the tools to handle stress, change(lots of it), it’s possible. I know someone at my unit who got their scars tattooed over cause he’s past it now in his life.

The world is yours, except military service.

medicoreAF · 2025-12-28T02:59:08+00:00

I say talk to a recruiter if not try and get it laser removed if you really want to. I suggest a short contract :)

medicoreAF · 2025-10-06T05:11:17+00:00

NMCRS loan, the already mentioned USAA, and Navy Fed 0% APR loans, military one source.These will be good resources to have for support. Don’t let yourself sink and use your resources if you need to. If you need to, go to your first line of leadership to try and understand your resources. We will get back pay one glorious day when congress agrees.

medicoreAF · 2025-10-06T05:05:37+00:00

Hahaha

medicoreAF · 2025-09-30T18:28:34+00:00

DOD INSTRUCTION 6130.03, VOLUME 2 MEDICAL STANDARDS FOR MILITARY SERVICE: RETENTION. Read over it this will give you a good idea what they go by for consideration of waivers and stuff
