**** the good news is now bad
Well I just went and found out today my Medical Board results. I was found unfit for duty (no suprise there), but they said that my condition is pre-existing (which is really funny because I never had any back pain prior to time in the Corps, and it continued to get worse as time has gone on). So basically I am getting dumped out on the street. No cash at all. No medical! Oh and to top everything off I just waited 4 extra months in the USMC just to get these results. I have an appeal, but I was told the evaluators will not change their minds without some kind of extreme intervention. Looks like I will be calling my senator.

isn't it nice the way our country treats the men that protect us. I say you get the word out... TV, Newspapers, etc...
The more of a stink that you make the more action that will happen, granted it might not all be what you are looking for.

Get more opinions.....definitely call your senator.
I had a situation shortly after I joined the Navy. Since I didn't know any better (I was 18), my dad called our senator requesting he contact me. I received a letter in the mail with all sorts of contact information within a week.
