Hey everyone, I am currently an active 0372 due to EAS within a year or so. I‘m just looking for any knowledge regarding the two topics below based off of people‘s experience to supplement what I can find off google And word of mouth.
1. Any helpful tips that you wish you knew when going through the VA disability claim process. My main concern is my neglect to go to medical for most things throughout my career due to not wanting to be on light duty or dumb reasons. I have witnessed in my old job prior to SOF, guys who seemed to be at medical all the time (always happens to be very overweight and lazy dudes) get 80-100% and hardworking dudes who had real bodily issues get shafted because nothing was documented. Any information or stories regarding this subject will be very helpful.
2. Any helpful websites or resources regarding transition and future job opportunities, preferably SOF specific. Mostly looking for anything to supplement the typical TRS brief or what the Marine Corps offers.
Any input will be greatly appreciated, thanks I’m advance.
