I am a Navy veteran temporarily separated
for disability (medical condition) reasons
from a medical separation from the Navy in 1998.
My condition is resolved, but I am still in
a year long now struggle to try to resume
my Navy career, in a militarily bureaucratic
system where procedures are far more important
than people ((military) "Disability Evaluation
System" (DES)).
I am a "TDRL" member
(TDRL = Temporary Disability Retired List).
I have to travel to Bethesda, Maryland at
the beginning of March, for a Formal Hearing
before the (Navy) Formal "Physical Evaluation
Board" (PEB) at Bethesda, Maryland, with
assistance of an appointed Navy JAG (attorney)
assigned at the PEB to make my case with me
(not for me), and have to stay there as well,
and I am not financially well off,
to say the least.
The burden is also on me to get new medical
information / evidence (a "second opinion")
in order to have any chance for any difference
between the informal PEB (record review)
preliminary finding that I am UNFIT, and
potential chance that I may receive a final
determination from the Formal PEB at my Formal
Hearing (Full and Fair Hearing) of FIT, that
would permit me to process for reenlistment.
I do not agree with the finding as the Navy
has already decided about me in the finding
that has taken place so far, as being
incorrect and flawed, but then again, the
reality of it is that they simply do not
really know me at all, but have the power
of these decisions (at a distance).
It is however puzzling to me that I still
need to offer "proof" that I am "alright"
(functioning vs. impairment).

Seaman Connor,
As we told you at your last evaluation; It is not helping your cause to continue your rampages on the internet. It merely proves the psychiatrists right. If you truly want to get reinstated in your military career you must forego posting on adult webmaster boards, you must forego the public display of you being sodomized by a woman and you must stop threatening people.
Son, I know the Navy was hard on you. Manning the radar scope during peacetime is by all means a very boring job, but making false claims in public as to your heroic duty and medals that you did not receive is merely proving the points that are made during each evaluation.
I hope you will heed the advice you have received and stop making a public spectacle of yourself. My advice, as your long time commander: Put down the crack pipe and start taking your meds. Again.
