I am told by others I am not a veteran. I was in the reserves I have over 365 days active service not Bootcamp, MCT, or MOS school. By law I qualify as a veteran... I was injured in service but then got an OTH for abusing pain medication I got addicted to. I receive a 93% a.k.a 90% disability rating through the VA. I consider myself a veteran I served proudly finished all my training and have active duty time served. I feel I was railroaded instead of being helped. I was discharged for abusing legal prescribed drugs that they got me addicted to for being in them for so long while I know others that were sent to rehab for serious illegal drugs... I would like to hear others opinions on this. F.Y.I. I can even get disabled veteran plates and get treated through the VA now for the multiple injuries ... .. ALSO NO ONE MENTION COMBAT I'M NOT ASKING IF I AM A COMBAT VETERAN I'M ASKING IF Y'ALL CONSIDER ME A VETERAN THERE IS A DIFFERENCE...?!?!?

Good evening. I am one of the senior administrators here at RP. We need you to change your initials to show your actual name. We don't allow verified members to mask their identity by altering their names to show only initials. If you don't make the adjustment, you may lose your verified status and have your account locked or suspended. I've suppressed the visibility of this post until you make the change, and will open it back up afterwards.

Here is a link to the guidelines and instructions on how to make the change:
