I failed an inter-service transfer NAVY to ARMY 1998. There were many many reasons to attempt this that I will not get into. But I was failed PSYCH SPINE MUSCUSKELETAL. Now if you knew what I was doing in the NAVY then all that would make sense. But no one gave me those records. The recruiter told me some frivlouolous things. If he indeed knew my DQ Fail Codes he should not have been telling me anything that would aggravate my PSYCH condition that Transfer Processing Identified. He would of found me medical care on the DOD or NAVY side. Who ever the processing Doctors or MD's were or Brass were could of done the same thing if they took their own DOD administered physical serious. I served when PTSD was not a known word. I will tell you this, I have gotten some really odd comments from people saying that there are no REGULATIONS that state that the Branches are REQUIRED to communicate this information discovered. I beleive that flies in the face of common sense, and basic military Ethics , and basic Principles of Military PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE that is even discussed in :

MILITARY PREVENTIVE MEDICINE:
MOBILIZATION AND DEPLOYMENT
Volumel
Section 1: A Historic Perspective on the Principles of
Military Preventive Medicine

by C. H. Llewellyn; Colonel, Medical Corps, US Army, (Retired}; Professor of Military Medicine; Professor of Preventive Medicine
and Bionletrics; Professor of Surgery; Director, Center for Disaster and Humanitarian Assistance Nfedicine (CDHANf}, Unifornled
Servires University of the Health Sciences, 4301 Jones Bridge Road, Bethesda, MD 20814-4799

""""Throughout history under a variety of titles cleanliness,
field hygiene, environmental sanitation,
preventive medicine, force protection-activities
and programs have been developed to maintain the
health and operational performance of military
forces and to prevent disease, injury, and disability.
Legters and Llewellyn describe military
medicine as "a unique brand of occupational medicine,
one that deals with the prevention and treatment
of diseases and injuries resulting from work
in military occupations and operational environment."
1 Bayne-Jones notes that through the
performance of inspectorial, advisory, and regulatory
duties, military preventive medicine is concerned
with the administration of the entire military
force, thus having a scope that exceeds all
other elements of the military medical department5.'
Military preventive medicine is therefore
the central function of military medicine. Unlike casualty
management of individual patients, military
preventive medicine is intimately involved with
military commanders, staffs, and units on a continuous
basis."""
