SFC Marc W. I knew going in the Army what I needed to qualify for VR. I was planning to go OCS and Airborne until my injury was diagnosed. I opted to stay on Active Duty and knew I was eligible for a medical discharge if my physical condition worsened. After 18 months freezing in northern Germany, I requested the medical discharge and was offered a 10% rating. I flew to Walter Reed and represented myself and got the 20% needed to qualify for VR. I have submitted all the paperwork myself to get my rating to 100% and I am in the process of submitting more documentation regarding exposure to Agent Orange at Ft McClellan SFC Marc W.
