There are people here who got back in April

Doesn't this statement raise any flags for you?

Not unusual. We have a few guys who got back to the US in April/May. Unit demobbed end of July. Maybe five guys still on active duty medical hold. However, we have arranged it so that their duty is at the unit (wink) so they can be home with their families, and just check in as needed.

The problems are mostly internal... heart, BP off the chart, one guy has a disease of unknown etiology. They are being cared for by TriCare and "real" doctors. The actual military med system is worse shape that I have ever seen... half the doctors on active duty got their med schooling offshore. But that's to be expected; it'ss a socialist system, it would be astonishing if it did work.

d.o.l.
