Is there any way that I can go back to active duty if I'm a 100% disabled veteran?

I've been diagnosed with PTSD, epilepsy and I've only had 80% of mobility on my left side, a titanium plate on my head. I know that with my PTSD and my epilepsy would be really hard but I want to try if there's a possibility, I'm a Corpsman and I understand that I can't go back to my job, but I really love the Navy and the service.

No ... I'm sorry and I understand you feel that there is still more that you need to finish. I've felt that way myself at times when what I was doing was stopped due to circumstances beyond my control. Realistically you wouldn't be human if you didn't feel that way.
I encourage you to find an alternate method of helping the services. PTSD Counselor, VA Assistance, military contractor (thus releasing active duty personnel to do their job) are among some things you could be doing to find closure..
Put your needs out there with specifics and everyone on this site will provide whatever they are able.

I wish I could tell you yes. Your example is amazing. Unfortunately, with the issues, you would not be able to serve active duty. Have you thought about a civilian DOD employee? I don't know how to go about checking into it, but there is no deployment issues which are precluded because of your issues. I remember there were a lot of civilian DOD employees at Balboa when I was there. It could be a way to stay close, and still provide service. Again, you are an awesome example, and best of luck to you.

Anyone wanting to look for a Federal job (civilian) just has to visit .... usajobs.gov .... It lists all government jobs around the world. Most of what you need to do can be done on the site, i.e., resume, veteran status, etc.
