Must of been officer? They have more options do to smaller numbers vs enlisted.
Evidently my 20 years 3 month and 29 day wasn’t enough, not that I’m crazy about VA anyway. I also served 20 years plus as federal worker, but that’s different horse I rode.
Probably Cause you have no documented disability? (Most didn’t go to sick call for every little problem) Tricare not always free, I pay small mount for prescription drugs for my wife and me it ever have take prescription drugs regularly so far. I look for that cost to go up.
I love how people tell me you retired military got it made like they didn’t have that option cause they didn’t like taking orders, how long had work in day, told where to go or move. For enlisted for half of career able to collect government subsidies due to low wage. Yep, we had it made didn’t we.
