My son took an honorable discharge from the 82nd Airborne in March 2022 after serving his full contract, with 20% disability from back injuries sustained in jumps. He’s at University NC in Wilmington, NC a few hours from Ft Bragg studying respiratory therapy - lots of veterans on campus he says. His veterans benefits are paying his schooling and rent, which is great.
He got his nose busted doing a freelance security job and a SF medic “adjusted” it under oral anesthesia (a few shots of whisky) and said he should see a surgeon for a closed rhinoplasty. My son (age 23) says he’s got no insurance - we took him off ours when he enlisted.
He’s got veteran’s medical coverage, doesn’t he? He misses some details now and again and this might be one of them. I know they did away with pensions unless you’re in for many years but though VA Medical was standard.
Thanks for the help!
