What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
GA
I am prior navy gulf war veteran currently attached to a GA ARNG unit. When I enlisted I was told I would be sent to WTC an alternative Basic Training for prior service. Over three years have past the unit never sent me and the WTC has been discontinued. I have recently been told that due to this policy change that I will have to attend Basic training before FEB 2012. However they also are threatning that due to my permanant profile for lumbar deterioration (P2) and its limitations that I may be unable to attend basic and will be discharged. I was also recently diagnosed with Narcolepsy/cataplexy and IBS but I have not had this updated to my profile. When I asked about updating my profile I was told the physician might refer me to a MEB. However they are trying to get me discharged for not going to basic on my current profile. I was told I can be excused for medical reasons from drill and that AR 135-91 ch 3 did not apply to me even though I am being required to attend Basic. If they discharge me before having MEB/PEB for not going to basic will I be discharged without benifits? Can they do that? Is it in my best intrest to be refered to a MEB due to the fact these I have some ratable conditions? I have taken my issues up the chain and all I get is "I dont know but you will probably be discharged for not being excepted in Basic for your current profile"
