Will I get medically discharged for PKD?
I don't know for sure that I have Polycystic Kidney Disease yet but I am starting to show symptoms of it(i.e. Frequent headaches, high bp, pain in lower back). PKD runs in my family; grandmother, father and both uncles had it. Has anyone heard of or experienced themselves someone being diagnosed with PKD while in the military and knows what happened to that person? I'm only 26 years old and still have a couple years left on my contract I'd like to at least finish out my contract. The main thing that concerns me is that I'm a flyer in the USAF and our medical standards are a little bit higher than most. Any information would be great, thanks!

You'll probably be grounded, and put on meds and have surgery done. If you are discharged, it will be a medical discharge with benefits, regardless of the fact it's genetic. As long as you've made it to 36 months of active duty, you'll receive full GI Bill benefits as well.

He can combat it yet assume him to be in bootcamp for way longer than 8 weeks. the want positioned him interior the separation development with all people harm, fraudulent enlistment and self-discipline problems and that may no longer a powerful place. maximum recruits finally end up taking the release just to get faraway from separations after being there for weeks. The army is plenty overmanned authentic now and there's a glut of recruits and that they are not giving recruits 2nd opportunities enjoyed they used to. they have extremely some bodies to fill the spots so that they are purely booting people who're harm, depressed etc.. character affliction is the catch all designation the army likes to furnish out to a great type of discharge motives. do no longer like it? character affliction. omit living house? character affliction. interior the army custom, in case you have those problems then you definately are probable a dirtbag and a goldbrick, harm, ill or no longer. Too undesirable although is that he probable gets a RE4 discharge code meaning he can no longer enlist in yet another branch.
