This is why I always said, "Nope, I'm good" and "What, do I look stressed?" whenever the Medical people visited while waiting for de-mob. God only knows what allergies and illnesses are hidden behind my, "NKA" label.
I certainly sympathize, but a long time ago, an older officer gave me some great advice. He said, "I hope you understand that whenever something is a good deal...every effort is made to limit who can get access to it."
Many times, I wonder what's "cheaper" for a Government; to offer employment with real benefits, good pay, and opportunities to advance through a 20 year+ career...or process applications for disability benefits?
