I signed the papers, still conflicted
I agreed to my 20army/100va p&t.. I did a whole lot of stressful soul searching trying to make the best decision. Legal gave me an excellent appeal letter. But for what I’m losing in the guaranteed appeal, fighting for that extra 10%, retiree id and significantly more time possibly serving pushing the ball to the right some more month (9 so far), going back and forth with work, pt formations etc; I’m gaining the peace of mind to know, I still have a supportive wife also serving and could still end with tricare at 20. Injuries, Dual mil separate branches, promotion rates and absolutely zero work life balance got me to this point and I’m gonna use my severance in the best way possible and take a much needed vacation. I’m tired boss.
Did I really miss out on much for not fighting for the medical retirement? I doubt I’ll ever use space a travel. Tricare is what it’s gonna be I’m good with the va and I’m covered under my wife too. I should also be able to access bases if necessary with my disabled id if I’m not mistaken.
