went and met with the medical board lady today... had to sign the paperwork regarding my board. the keesler folks have requested the full on medical review panel which will take about 8 weeks from now i suppose. she gave me a narrative summary which basically boils down like so:
1) Military Impairment: marked. her condition carries the risk of sudden relapse to teh point of incapacitation and is not clinically compatible with the austere conditions of deployment.
2) Social/Industrial Impairment: defenite (what does that really mean???)
3) Line of Duty: yes (again, what does that mean?)
and the most important factor (in my opinion)
Existed prior to Service: no. Pre-existing symptoms do not equate to diagnosis of Bipolar II disorder as an adolescent
that last one makes it better on me should they chose seperation. if its deemed a non-preexisting condition (or something that could have been diagnosed before enlistement) then i have more chances of permanent retirement and all the perks.
The summary also does state that i am competent for pay and records, but not fit to deploy.
i am sooooooo confused.
will know in or around 8 weeks from now what the verdict is....
the jury is out
