I know Iām a little late, but congratulations! I retired in 2018, and wish Iād retired at 20 instead of 21 years of service. I did the contract gig for a year, then came home and did all of my VA stuff. I was put in for a MEB 2 weeks before my six month this out before I could start my VA while still on AD. That stopped it and I fought the MEB, and got it overturned to a regular retirement just a few weeks before starting terminal. During all of that mess I accepted the contract gig and did my VA stuff with a month remaining from 1 year my official retirement date, so everything was back paid to me. Make sure you maximize your benefits and you earned them.
Enjoy life as a civilian, I sure as hell do! My stress level is 90% less then my last few years on AD.

Get your hearing carefully checked, before discharge. It will be worth money to you later.

Thanks everyone! I'm staying busy as a CNC machinist student. The VR&E program is paying my tuition and monthly stipend. I have a line on a good job working for a nearby AR15 manufacturer after graduation. Life is good!
Thanks, Dinny

Sounds like a good path to take.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

Thanks for serving!
Don't turn your medical records over to any civilian doctor, you mat not get them back.
Good luck.
