She is getting paid while she recovers, and it gives time to address any service-connected issues that might arise that you need to document in her service records.<br />Chapter 8 is stupid if she is that close to ETS.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 24 at 2017 3:50 PM2017-07-24T15:50:07-04:002017-07-24T15:50:07-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member2795569<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well they can not force her to get a chapter 8 if you have an active family care plan and as of ETSing I hear of soldiers soon. It but I have never seen or experienced it.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 3 at 2017 3:54 AM2017-08-03T03:54:17-04:002017-08-03T03:54:17-04:00SGT William Brown2890661<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>YesResponse by SGT William Brown made Sep 3 at 2017 10:16 PM2017-09-03T22:16:37-04:002017-09-03T22:16:37-04:00SGT Robert Miller2932620<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>that is a big yesResponse by SGT Robert Miller made Sep 20 at 2017 11:52 AM2017-09-20T11:52:06-04:002017-09-20T11:52:06-04:00SPC Manny Managuit3098154<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>UNDer general honorableResponse by SPC Manny Managuit made Nov 16 at 2017 11:53 PM2017-11-16T23:53:28-05:002017-11-16T23:53:28-05:002017-07-24T15:43:49-04:00
