It's the same with the military too. If you can be trained to do another job they will do that. But if the disease or injury is too bad and you cannot perform you are medically retired. It's hard to get it through the military too which is why this is a step up for many. Once you are medically retired from the military many vets turn to the VA administration which will usually rate them at a higher percentage. It's mainly that they are covering these diseases now. It's too bad our Vietnam boys didn't get this when they could. Maybe now they will.

When Jim was discharged they rushed him through the military review board so fast we questioned why because some guys were still waiting to be medically discharged after several years. Makes us wonder about all those chemicals. But then again Jim was my secret agent man. lol With that being said, they take very good care of us. Even I will be taken care of if something happened to Jim for life as long as I never remarry. It's nowhere near what they give Jim but it's more than most people get plus I retain my medical coverage.

Guess who's not getting remarried? lol
