i posted this in General support.. but didnt get to much help..

i have been thinking alot since DF has been gone, he is so worried that he is gonna get kicked out of the army because he has PTSD and TBI.. and honestly.. i dont have a CLUE what to say to him.. i love him so much and i hate watching him go through the migranes.. can he get kicked out for it!?! and if so, then will we get help from the army?

I'm not sure what TBI is, but they won't kick someone out of the military for PTSD. It's treatable, and they will treat him for it.

Oh... then I don't know about that.. sorry. They might medically retire him, but if they do, it will be with benefits. They aren't going to just send him packing with nothing to show for it.

Has he gotten this medically documented?? Did he have a MEB or PEB? Is he in any type of treatment? Has he already depoloyed or is he on his way to a deployment? What are his other symptoms? Give me more to go on and I could give you some direction for him--some real help.
