If diagnosed as Autistic I would expect nothing less an Honorable under medical condition discharge. Don&#39;t see any more promotions either. Wondering how this soldier made it thru basic training and AIT? Semper Fi.

What is the STEP program for? Even though I don&#39;t agree 100% with the &quot;board,&quot; I currently do not have an alternative for the process. My last unit, the board was about &quot;scenario based&quot; not just Q &amp; A. LIke my CSM used to say, bring me a solution to the problem, and we can discuss it.
