This will be a short diary.
Our bonus son joined the USAF, and had pretty apparent scoliosis when he enlisted.
Five years later, he is semi-crippled with significant back pain, almost certainly enhanced by his training and military experience.
The Air Force is now offering him a settlement of approximately $20,000 with an immediate discharge, or he can appeal the decision while he stays in the Air Force for another year.
My question is about what resources are available for troops in this situation.
