My advice to you is to be your own advocate for health. No one else will, not even the docs.

My advice to you is to be your own advocate for health. No one else will, not even the docs.

Until their medical department fails their annual inspection. In which case they will advocate the shit out of you. They will advocate so much, that you will be on medical hold for over a year jumping through hoops like a fucking circus animal. All for a condition for which you had been given a negative diagnosis more than two years prior by two separate health care providers.

At which point, you will be totally fucked, still pretty much perfectly healthy, but out of your career because of some junior fuckwit's incompetence.

@theword Basically, no matter which branch in which you enlist or take a commission, keep track of your paperwork. All of it. Medals aren't shit if you can't get benefits or your career is ending prematurely, and always remember: Medical can fuck anyone's career. Always make sure you're on top of any medical concern you have, be it a health issue, or how they're handling your records.

Always make and keep copies.

Docs/SARCs (corpsman) are some of the coolest guys you'll have by your side when you're rolling outside the wire. The desk sitters fucking with your records.... can eat a bag of dicks and fuck themselves with the leftovers.

Oh. And always make and keep copies.

Yeah. I'm salty.

And the fucking Corpsman "doc" in BAS is not a god damn doctor, no matter what the fuck stick implies. If you need to go see a real doctor, demand to see a doctor.

If you can't tell, even after 15 years I still have some hate and discontent aimed at corpsman. I had a buddy that went to BAS because he had a testicle that swelled up to the size of a grapefruit overnight, those fucktards wouldn't let him see a doctor, give him some motrin and sent him back.

He died about three months later, testicular cancer.

Fuck those fucking fucks.

ah cool, sorry for the misunderstanding... I didn't realize you came in with disabilities and had to advocate for them while in the corps. I thought you became disabled while serving, so I thought maybe you had advice on what not to do. On another note a buddy of mine fell two stories and and gets a considerable amount of money every month since he was discharged...his advice for me was don't fall two stories.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion based on what I said. I didn't come into the military with disabilities...they don't allow that. I became disabled in the military. I'm saying that they don't give half a shit about you when you get hurt, and this can lead to further problems.
