Military member discharged for Diabetes

by diabeticnavyaviator, Jul 18, 2006 12:00AM
I was recently in Naval Flight Training, but was discharged for diabetes.  I went through a year process of trying to stay in the military,  I am writing this to offer any help or insight I may provide to people wishing to know the military policies and options if you are diabetic.  Thank you.

Hi diabeticnavyaviator!  Thank you for offering this information.  I am sure that there are many people that you could educate about this subject.  Please feel free to post the highlights of your findings if you wish.

No problem, I only wish to pass my knowledge to my fellow servicemen.  The military is such a large organization and it is extremely tough to get all the information you need.  There are a lot of benefits that these servicemen are entitled to, but they just do not know about them. Anyway, any help I can be.
