To answer everyone's questions, no, I was never on disability. It was offered to me but I turned it down because I knew I didn't need it and I actually have goals and aspirations in my life. The diagnosing doc refuses to see me. He says its "unethical". All I asked him was just to look me over again (several months later) to see if I was still in the same condition. I know that I am not. How am I still able to play basketball, lift weights, play with my kids, help people move, etc, if supposedly my back is in bad shape? According to his report I should not be able to do those things. This injury does not effect my life in any way, shape, or form. I carry on as if nothing ever happened. All I'm looking for is someone who knows what my options are. "Don't take no for an answer" How when the recruiter won't talk to me anymore? Who do I go to about this? I asked him who was above him and anyone else I could talk to and he wouldn't give me any info. I'm asking for specific offices to call. MEPS, surgeon general, etc,...who? I divulged this information because all members of the military that I talked to about going this route advised me to be honest.
