I do have a 4 volume military medical record.
Plus the standalone oncology and cardio ones. But those wouldn't even make 1/4 of a volume if they added them.
But them just straight up trying to find something, anything when all I had that would be disqualifying was reported and appropriately submitted and granted a SI 1st class with no restrictions other than cartying a spare partial foot prosthetic after a couple SODAs. (It's basically an orthotic on steroids but VA and FAA deem it to be a prosthetic)
I do deem that to be a witch hunt. Cost me $19k out of pocket in lawyers, 9k in unnecessary testing not covered by insurance, and probably that much again in lost wages.
But a couple posters say it "didn't count" because my experience is counter to their narrative of cheating veterans.
