So I have had some medical issues for the last few years. Nerve damage, a foot that just wont get better and sleep apnea. All of it has been incurred while in the Air Force. Unfortinlly I cant continue to perform my job as a Security Forces Member anymore and my med board has finally been submitted. This really is nice since I have been in limbo for about a year. Not able to deploy or go to any schools. But on Thursday my commander wrote his commanders letter for the med board and he has recommended a retirement for me. I have been in for 15 years and did not want to walk away from my career with nothing but a severance check. I am aware that his input does not guarantee me a retirement but it does help. When I do end up out of the military since I am over 30% disabled the VA will pay for a 4 year degree in any field I show an aptitude towards and they will also give me a stipend for living expenses on top of me being able to use my GI bill for housing. This in on top of my retirement my VA disability that I will receive. So please pray for me so that I can retire from the A.F. and move on with a new career in about 4 years and still be able to brew as a good and healthy hobby.
