As a 21 year active duty AF member about to retire, I truly hope this (VA) system is ready to help me. I have massive cardiac and neurological issues and can't understand why they didn't medically retire me long ago, but I'm not complaining. Would rather go out on my own terms.

I have complete medical records and even doctors who've annotated in my medical records they believe I have Gulf War Syndrome, I fear for my future with the VA. Way too many horror stories out there, but I'll make the best of it I guess.

as a Physician Assistant who has worked in the VA I suggest you ssdpend a lot of time informing yourself about your medical conditions--read the medical litterature and only literature written by people who actually ttreat them--if you dont do 50% of the work then it's a game.--hope things work out for you
