>That way it won't look like I'm just trying to get out of my PT test
Wrong attitude. To get medically retired you have to be declared "unfit". If you can't do a PT test are you unfit. See what I'm getting at?
Also, stop caring what others think. People thought I was a pussy for being on a profile and always going to sick call but now they are working at Pizza Hut and I'm chilling with my retiree ID card and 80% VA disability ($1550 a month, tax free).
>I assume that by going to the doc for this stuff, it builds a paper trail of service-related evidence?
Yes.
>Feels kinda scummy, but hey, if it's free money..
It's not scummy if you actually have problems.
I'd be happy if they didn't feel the need to make a fucking network engineer waste his time practicing for some arbitrary PT standards.
Might as well get some money out of the deal. What's some stuff that pays well for an otherwise healthy guy?
Just read the book. It will tell you everything you need to know.
