Not necessarily...but be careful what you get listed in your records. You are required to disclose it all to the FAA and they supposedly have the ability to electronically access your VA medical record. The popular claim these days is sleep apnea for 50% disability but the FAA doesn't play nice with that diagnoses and you're opening yourself up to a whole other obstacle course to get your FAA Class I. If you plan to fly after the military, I'd go easy on the disability buffet until you know how it will affect you.
