I have medical conditions such as severe inomnia, other disorders and anxiety and stress that doesn’t go away and it leads me to getting in trouble or leads me into getting into verbal altercations with E5s and below and has gotten me multiple counselings and prevents me from performing my job or doing my duties and functioning properly. I’ve seen posts pertaining to general discharges with misconducts, and have gotten general discharge or honorable, or general discharge without honorable conditions. What are the possibility of me getting discharged by medboarding and being 10 months in the army?

You're not, at least I hope, going to get a medical discharge because you have a shitty attitude problem. That is a failure to adapt situation and you need to get a general discharge for it. Thanks for playing kiddo.

SGT Robert Johnson Thanks. I always appreciated blunt honesty over sugar coated B.S. and I wouldn't do anyone the disservice of BSing them either. Plus, it is the military; there is no time to care about hurting feelings.

no - he won't get a med board or medical discharge for it - but it is clear he needs some help - that should be the first priority - afterwards - he will get chaptered if the behavioral health professionals recommend it - if not - well - suck it up cupcake welcome to adulthood

SSG Robert Perrotto I don't think this kid needs help. Sounds like he needs an ass whoopin. This is what happens when parents fail to discipline their children when they are young; they become shitty adults with shitty attitudes.

SGT Joseph Gunderson - *looks around to make sure no one is listening and whispers* "E-4 mafia should handle this" - just kidding - seriously - I am giving the benefit of doubt - call me a softy, but I am gonna take his word for it and advise to get the help he needs. If he is gaming the system, his buddies will know and not take his shit.

A MEDB can send you home at anytime your case is brought up. Have you seeked counseling? Better do it quick, before you get hammered for misconduct

dear lord - there is so much here - first - did you disclose your medical condition to your recruiter? Did the Army evaluate your condition and give you a waiver? If this "occurred" while in Basic/AIT, did you or your leadership utilize behavioral health professionals in order to determine if you were fit to serve? I am not attacking you Troop, just trying to get information to formulate a proper response - as it stands right now - You need some help - and you need to inform your NCO's that you need to see behavioral health - if the leadership is good, they will se that you have some mental/emotional needs that have to be addressed, and not hassle you about it. I would focus on that and not worry about the med board/chapter or whatever. Get help first - worrying about other stuff is only going to stress you more.

I have been to behavioral health twice but during a field training exercise. I don’t really have time to be going to behavioral health or to get help because I’m always working alongside other Lower enlisted and usually I use work and the friendships with them as a way to cope with my problems but mostly it’s because of the sleep disorder and the other issues such as random moments of regret and anger and stuff like that and it affects my performance as being a good soldier, but then again I feel discriminated because I’m not trusted to do things because I’m “inexperienced” but someone is told to show me something that I already know. pretty organized, right?

It’s Due to the fact that I don’t “show” these symptoms because I can cope with it pretty well but I do have breakdowns and temptations.

I use the word discrimination because only for one reason, and that’s my age. Im only 19. Others may be older and more trusted because they are older, but as I do my job I am sometimes using initiative and I’m wrong for it, but someone else uses my idea and get the credit. That’s discriminating and unfair towards me and my efforts in my defense. I understand two visits would not deem me a recommendation to become medboarded but it was what was told to me when I did see someone in the field for behavioral health, and from that point on I was feeling better but then I got into more altercations because you know the army doesn’t always have good leaders and the problem is that I’m needed, I’m not prevented from going to behavioral health it’s the fact that we are on route to JRTC and our unit is very busy all the time

PV2 (Join to see) - again - you did not answer my questions so I cannot give you an informed opinion - I do not need to know what the disorder is - that's really not my business - what I need to know is - were you diagnosed with this condition prior to joining the military, if so - did you inform your recruiter - if you informed your recruiter, did the army evaluate your condition and make a determination? if the condition arose while in basic/AIT - did you see a a healthcare specialist? seems to me you are evading answering - which is setting off some bells in my head. You are not trusted to do things yet because you are a private - that's par for the course - you have at best 7 months on the job - not enough time to gain the mastery you need to be unsupervised.
