Discharged from Military


What is the name of your state?Fl
I was recently discharged from the Air Force on a medical discharge. The medical reason is that i am believed to have a personality disorder. This is in no way true. I was diagnosed by someone who was not even certifed to lable me this. So the military lawyer asked for a re evaluation. We wanted it to be done at a DIFFERNET loacation. We were denied and the reelvauation was done by another doctor in the same clinic. This elval lasted for about 10 minutes. Im no doctor but thats not long enogh to do a complete disogstic. Well this doctor agreed with the first doctor and said that i did have a personality disorder. My lawyer was outraged at this. The reason he says that the doctor agreed with the previous doctor because he didnt want to discredit the other doctor to whom he works for and it also didnt help that the doctor who gave me my first results was going before a board for promotion. What should I do?

Be thankful you got a medical discharge rather than punishment and a dishonorabe discharge for what ever criminal or inappropriate activity in which you were involved. Your games won't fly here either.

You're just upset that they got a psych discharge and you didn't.

I'm not the one who did what they or you did, but for OP the psych discharge is better than what they might otherwise face.

I've heard it just says UCMJ violation. What's the official wording?

Also, I used up all my appeals while I was in the military. Does the president grant pardons on a regular basis? The military ruin young men lives. My conviction is the only error in my life.
