If your knee injury is service related, I hope you kept all documentation regarding treatment and diagnosis. You might be eligible for some service related disability benefits, including money for your education. A lot of Vet's (about 66 %) never collect the benefits they are due simply because they don't know how to apply for them.

When I did the VA disability claim before i got out, I reported everything... Ended up with 90% disability rating. which comes out to 1850 a month... So im very blessed. Im also moving back to Texas San Antonio to be exact to go to UT of san antonio for engineering. Texas has great vet benefits

What did you do in the Navy? Maybe you're a good candidate for a GS job?

I was a cryptologist , Worked with the RF spectrum I did job hunting for about 4 months, With out a engineering degree places like BAE, Rayteon and any GS job like NSA are just not going to happen at least on the pay scale I want. Im 26 with no kids and a full ride to school i figured now the time to get it done

Good for you. You are a smart guy. You should be fine.
My son-in-law was medically boarded out of military service early this year with close to full disability. He served for 15 years. Not only are his knees and back shot, he suffered a traumatic neck injury as a result of an exploded IED during one of his three tours in Iraq, which causes severe migraines. He is also being treated of PTSD. He got lucky when the mess hall in Mosul was blown up because he was in his room and not in the mess hall eating like his buddies, some of who lost their lives, were.
He is currently working on getting his bachelor's degree. He has about two years left.

Wow man thank him for his service, I to suffer from some issues due to the 3 deployment i went on... Its somthing that i have to work on every day... Time makes it easier but its something ill always have to work on

Yeah. My son-in-law barely talks about his experiences while deployed. Little bits and pieces come out, but it is clearly hard for him to talk about it. Of course it might help if he could.
His SSD court date is tomorrow. I hope it goes well for him. He also suffers short term memory loss. Thing is, you would never guess that he has such an array of disabilities if you met him. He's really a great guy. He is very easy going and he's an amazing husband and father too.

Im sorry all that happened to him, I know its hard to talk about things but if he was able to get in a group of guys that have been through the same thing that will get him to open up.

And why would you think that?
My son was in the military for 22 years before he retired. He now works for the U.S. government doing a similar job to the one he had when he was in the service.
He was never deployed to a war zone because his MOS was in logistics which is a desk job, so to speak. He does not suffer from PTSD, nor does he have any other military or non-military related disabilities.
My son-in-law's MOS was a forward observer which put him on the front line of all the action. The mortality rate for forward observers is very high.

30% is probably why he said "every." Not all, of course, but pretty damn high.

If you invent conditions people will have them.
Soilders these days get deployed in active service for a few months and home again for a break.
I listened to an old guy on the radio th other week talking about his wartime experience, he was in Africa for 5 years straight.
He said "when we got back we just got on with it"
Everyones after a payout these days.

I don't fault these guys, but yeah, the older fellas were tough as nails. Lots of those guys had a horrible time forgetting, though, but we didn't address such things back then.
I wasn't considering the $$ angle at all, just the stats.

Fucking Pathetic that the government is wasting money for "disability" for you. You aren`t fucking disabled. You are a competitive roiding bodybuilder for fucks sake. There are real people who are disabled and need the money. Not you. You should be ashamed of yourself honestly.
-

Frankly it seems like you are the one acting like an idiot here. You asked/suggested, " doesn't every American soldier suffer from mental illness." Obviously that is not the case. It is the kind of thing an uninformed idiot would say. I merely sited examples of two people I personally know whose circumstances answer your question by exampling that not "every soldier" suffers mental illness.
If you read about PTSD you will discover that it is not clear that it is a mental illness so much as a condition caused by trauma.

We have been agreeing on a lot of things recently.
This is not one of them... its one thing to do a little juice, some leg extensions, and have decent legs. That doesnt mean that your knee is good to go at all.
He has had very serious surgical procedures done on the knee. Its legit fucked up. It was fucked up in the service of OUR country, he deserves to be compensated for it.
-
if you worked with RF spectrum, i would think that a job at Army South or one of the bases near SA would be easy to get. But either way good luck. But one warning, I don't know if you've been told how the GI bill works, but I found out the hard way. It goes by months used, unless it has changed. For example, (I know you have lots more) lets say your contract says you get $24,000 for a max of $1,000 a month for 24 months if you go full time. Then you get the full amount. But If you only half (part) time you only get $500 a month. Well you don't get that other 500 back. So if you only go part time for 24 months, you used it all up and only got part of the money. So look into it and be sure, get everything you deserve.

Congrats Navy Mike.

You are right 30% is pretty darn high. -Makes one wonder why folks decide to serve. If they knew these odds going in, they might think twice about their decision to join.
30% is nowhere near "every" though. Every means all, not 1/3.

Do you seriously think I meant "every single american soilder"
Its a turn of phrase you halfwit.
And your son isnt likely to be suffering from PTSD bearing in mind he hasnt seen any action, I was talking about real soilders not desk jockies so that example is mute.

I see, "it's a turn of phrase".....nice excuse for misstating something. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you told my son to his face that he wasn't a real soldier....or is this just another turn of phase?

It didn't appeal to me either. Especially when I was called up for the draft when my wife was 6 months pregnant. Fortunately, I didn't have to go. I might not have survived serving during the Viet Nam war. However, I appreciate that others felt and continue to feel differently and are willing to fight and sacrifice their health and sometimes their lives for our freedom.

It does get a bit tiresome hearing about the overwhelming odds the military has to overcome.

First of all: thank you for your service.
Cryptologist? Or crypto analyst? Cryptologists are usually heavily degreed mathematicians.
Have you considered the NSA? They already know all about the gear and that weird swelling on your ass last year.

Oh please. He was obese the majority of his time in the military. Besides, he was a cryptographer in the Navy, not exactly front line stuff at all. Fatty was desk jobbing it and hurt his knee because of extra twinkies.
There are real cases out there of people who need the money. This is Welfare abuse plain and simple.
-
Did you add in your onstage pictures along with your claim?
No shit. I bet the Daily Mail would eat this story up. "Roiding bodybuilder, going to the gym every day, claims disability despite "grueling" workouts". This would make a good story for an investigative piece. There are thousands and thousands like him abusing the system, meanwhile, thousands suffer with poor care at the VA hospitals who have legit battle wounds and permanent disabilities and disfigurements.
Now this ass clown, wants to go to school, find a job and STILL collect that 1850 disability check on top of all that while slamming down grams of steroids and training "like a beast" and claiming he is "disabled".
Fucking pathetic. Probably votes Republican as well.

Would you put in 9 years for the chance at 1,850 bucks a month?
Seems like many things could happen during that time.
Besides, don't you think that the Navy doctors had to sign off on this? They obviously felt that Mike's injury warranted it.
How did you hurt your knee Mike?

As a veteran and now a contractor in Iraq –– I've seen first hand huge numbers of individuals bragging about their 60-70-80% VA disability rating –– yet hitting up the gym every day while performing their duties as a private security contractor with absolutely no issues. The VA disability system is clearly broken and for all you veterans on here collecting a disability check that you aren't truly entitled to –– FUCK YOU. It's people like you who are bankrupting our country. You're no better than welfare leeches or the individuals fraudulently collecting SS disability checks. What makes it worse is that good people have to compete against these fuck stains for federal jobs with them being given preference due to their bullshit disabilities. The system is clearly broken.

He didnt have to apply for it, his knee is fine if he can go to the gym and compete in bodybuilding contests.
I have herniated discs in my back and could quite easily go on sickness benefit and scrounge around, I choose not to because I am able to work.

If Navy Mike is smart he's erasing his old posts and won't be posting here again under the "Navy Mike" handle. There's enough here to cause him a lot of grief with the Navy IG.
You guys are dicks.
You think so? I'm sure the disability payout is only temporary until he gets it fixed. His knee is fucked up - he's talked about it a few times during his prep thread. He couldn't workout his legs.
You can be disabled and still lift weights - especially with machines today. I've seen paraplegics lift at my gym as well as people with walkers, crutches and canes.
And just because you can seemingly walk fine doesn't mean you aren't in a boat load of pain.
But yeah, for safety reasons I would delete this thread and retire the navymike account. Like you said, too many dicks here willing to take things too ruin people just for shits and giggles.
Anyways....Mike, I appreciate your service, brother, and am happy you are moving on with your life. Fuck these clowns...you deserve everything you got. You earned it. Best wishes.

Dude, listen to me, team up with or get your general contractors license. Get the paperwork to become a service disabled veteran owned company. The government will literally hand you contracts for work with guaranteed profit margins.

All the 'disability fraud' posts reminded me of this gem ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don´t know why some people are attacking the guy. if he gets money then good luck to him. Criticism from guys who never put on a uniform. Navy-Mike seems like a good bloke to me. Hope he gets his claim and moves on in life.

Hey guys any vets here on get big? This was a long time coming but Today was my last day after 9 years of service due to a knee injury.
Anyone have any advice? Im already signed up for school as I know there is no way i can be competitive in the job market with out one
Btw the alpha beard is already underway
Good luck, Mike. Hahaha, the traditional post military hair growing ritual. We all did it, buddy. My cousin was in the Navy for roughly the same amount of time and he found work in government. A government job would be your best bet, particularly something related to your naval career.

Take it easy. Contemplate your naval.

I was an officer you stupid pussy and it's fairly obvious that I did well financially. My family has a long line of military service and I felt a sense of obligation to serve the country that has provided my family the opportunity to build a successful life.

This explains a lot about you, where you a bottom or top in the navy.

To receive 90% of your check, don't you have to be REALLY disabled? :-\ :-\
Im assuming the more severe the disability, the greater your disability check is. No?

You would think... The problem is that much like "white guilt" there is an outpouring of "understanding" for disabled vets.
As my above post says - I am most definitely military minded and when a soldier - sailor - airman or Marine is wounded in the combat I think that we OWE it to them to take care.
However - when it becomes whored out - it lessens the meaning and it turns people off. When they see a guy that god forbid was "on the front line" (which can mean a shit load of things) and he worked in Admin, but came home with horrible PTSD - wtf do you expect people to say. I will leave myself out of the discussion but both my father and grandfather are legitimate war heros. Both were wounded multiple times and we look at their Purple Hearts with a sense of pride. Were they "scarred" - I guess fucking so. My grandfather was Skipper of a destroyer and was under attack from kamakazi on 6 separate occasions. He lost his junior officer in one attack and was torn by shrapnel in another. Know how he dealt with it?? He drove the mother fucking boat like he was supposed to and ordered his gunners to clip the wings from incoming sneaky ass Japanese. He has written quite a bit on how the Japanese pilots weren't NEARLY as brave as they were portrayed. MOST lost their will just before the moment of reckoning and fell harmlessly into the sea..
Anyway - I digress - point is that war is SUPPOSED to fucking suck and hearing these stories is SUPPOSED to make us fear war and avoid it...
Legitimate disability should be handled but making men wards of the state when they could be productive is simply enslaving them. Exactly how the Democrat party has enslaved minorities - although more and more you are hearing from minorities that are sick of that shit and they are growing stronger in numbers.

I would like to see here the service records of the Critics on here. Guys who never had the Balls to join up. ANY Man or Woman who serves or has served has my respect American or British. Enough said on this. this is a Bodybuilding Forum but stop your Disrespect to guys like Navy-Mike. I get a War Pension myself, details i won´t go into on here. Am i a wanker too? Do i deserve it?. Walk the Walk or Shut it.
I assume there is a difference between a war pension and disability. If he got a war pension for serving that is a different story.
However, claiming you are disabled when you're not, is wrong, even if you served. It's mainly wrong because youre milking the system and taking it away from people who REALLY need it. The fact that he is a roided up bodybuilder, well, is going to make people wonder how disabled he really is. Sure, people who are disabled can still go to the gym. But how many disabled roided bodybuilders do you know who are disabled, while simultaneously collecting disability from the VA (or wherever the money comes from)?
-
You would think... The problem is that much like "white guilt" there is an outpouring of "understanding" for disabled vets.
As my above post says - I am most definitely military minded and when a soldier - sailor - airman or Marine is wounded in the combat I think that we OWE it to them to take care.
However - when it becomes whored out - it lessens the meaning and it turns people off. When they see a guy that god forbid was "on the front line" (which can mean a shit load of things) and he worked in Admin, but came home with horrible PTSD - wtf do you expect people to say. I will leave myself out of the discussion but both my father and grandfather are legitimate war heros. Both were wounded multiple times and we look at their Purple Hearts with a sense of pride. Were they "scarred" - I guess fucking so. My grandfather was Skipper of a destroyer and was under attack from kamakazi on 6 separate occasions. He lost his junior officer in one attack and was torn by shrapnel in another. Know how he dealt with it?? He drove the mother fucking boat like he was supposed to and ordered his gunners to clip the wings from incoming sneaky ass Japanese. He has written quite a bit on how the Japanese pilots weren't NEARLY as brave as they were portrayed. MOST lost their will just before the moment of reckoning and fell harmlessly into the sea..

My grandfather fought in WW 2 in the Battle of the Bulge. I still have some of his old military stuff.
And I think that is the point that people are arguing. That Navy Mike does not have a legitimate disability to qualify for receiving 90% of his paycheck.

Hey guys any vets here on get big? This was a long time coming but Today was my last day after 9 years of service due to a knee injury.
Anyone have any advice? Im already signed up for school as I know there is no way i can be competitive in the job market with out one
Btw the alpha beard is already underway
I was active duty USMC from 1979-1983. I wasted 3 years dicking around working as a bar bouncer and trying to go to school part time when I first got out. You are smart to go back to school right away and get a good education with your vet benefits.
I got certified to teach HS chemistry and physics and had no problems getting a job and also coached , right after I graduated.
I went to grad school evenings and in the summer and was able to get a college teaching position a few years ago.
Being a CPA is another good, solid option with lots of jobs and career shots.
Good luck.

Thank all you guys for the kind words. I did deploy 3 times to the Middle East, I was a operator and a technician for a system called the slq-32 and mk-53. Along woth over head satellite stuff I cant go to deep into.
Basiclly my job was to be a radar expert or "Elint" so I analized radars of any platform that had one subs, ships, planes, missles you name it and based on those parametric data I was able to tell you what it was. I was also the guy that would try to defeat a missle by know it's radar and it's weeknesses, can we use chaff? Jamming ? If so what technic is the most productive? Is the missle is seeker or terminal phase? Depending on that my actions completely change and usually of it's sub sonic I have maybe 20 secs to figure it out if it was super I have maybe 10 to 12 depending on seeker turn on. One of those jobs you hope you never have to do.
Here is how I hurt my knee. When we where in the Persian gulf we would do "mass casualty" drills once or twice a day. Being in constant missle range of Iran and the fact that they point them at you quite often it is a possibility. Basiclly it's like the ship takes a ton of missles and people are dead there are fires every where and equipment is all messed up and everyone is doing there part to try to fix or fight everything.
Being the lead technician I was on the side of the training team.. I'd have to run all over the ship to the different areas to train the guys and I had to do it like no shit it was going down
When we are in this mode we set somthing that's called zebra where the entire ship is compartmentlized and every door is shut. Well running up and down through this tiny schudles and I ended up bashing my knee so bad trying to shot up from one I cracked my knee bone and ruptured a good size piece of cartlidge out of my knee... It's pretty painful and is even hard to walk long distances as my knee is kinda floating on a big piece of missing cartlidge

My grandpa was 4F. He stayed home and fucked your grandma.
Think your grammy was a good girl? Your grammy was a slut. You don't see it now she's old or dead but your grandma was the biggest cockhound in 3 states. That polkadot dress came up for any remaining dick in town.
Grandpa was no dummy.

Sounds like you would make a damn good math or fellow physics teacher* ( LOL God help you).
You're radar experience will give you a leg up on applied math and the lifestyle of teaching might suit you?
Plus, you can teach full time without having to move around too fast.
Most school districts would be glad to have you and your military bearing is what you need to maintain order and discipline.
Go to a basic state college near your home and get at it.
FYI, my dad was a navy man and served on the Coral Sea back in WWII

I`ll tell you what. Jezebelle's grandfather was one rank away from Admiral and in charge of an entire Naval hospital and was in every offense since the Korean War to the Gulf. He saw the change in the coddling first hand and would always speak of it. He would have denied your request I am sure. Its sad what has become the norm as over half now claim disability.

I'll say this, if some of you truly feel the way you do about the military and there benifits (funny I don't think some of you are even American so I do know why you have a option on how we treat out vets). I've never meet a vet that said hey I've spend years away from America, with stress levels so high I have mental problems now but I won't take the VA disability.
Say what you will, but I earned mine. If you don't feel that way lets ask you did you serve? No vet would ever ever talk down to a fellow vet for getting his benifits... That's why I don't put to much though into the ones in disagreement are the ones that never put a uniform on.
I've leanered a lot about life and that war is a horrible thing... It's one thing to read about 100,000 people dying in a history book it's another to live it. I've learned that the military is a huge political and humanitarian arm as well. But most of all a show of for. Unlike what the libs like you to belive the real world respects force and power. It's funny that you could get your ass whooped keeps you inline.. Almost like the US are the parents but to keep economical stability it's needed. Just the way the world works

Haha if I used my knee as a excuse and got fat you guys would fuck with me.. My knee killed me my owe prep the most I did was cardio was 30mins walking on a treadmill, I never worked legs the whole time..
I hurt my knee not tore a chest, bicep, back, and tri muscles. Those still work just fine. There are people with no legs in the Olympics that can out run both of us. So your point is kinda of mute..
I'm not saying I'm disabilitied and can't work.. I want to work that's why I'm going to school. I plan on getting a job while I go to school.
If your mad at the disabilty be mad at the Goverment.. Not little petty officer mike for Christ shake. I just got what I was entitled to get.

Meh. Don't agree with the % but thats an issue with the VA or whoever these policy makers are.
Fact is if he sustained an injury while serving that will be with him for the rest of the life then he should be fairly compensated.

My 90 comes from a lot of things... My knee, depression issues, my sholders, both knees. Back. Basicly anything I ever went to the doc about in 10 years they look at, there was a lot of physical labor on the boat. So any time I tweeked somthing I went to get been aspirin it was documented.. They do a physical on you based on those things and rate it..
You guys are going to love this but sleep apnea gets you 50%. That's about 450 a month I think.

I couldn't walk for sometime, it's never really gotten better. The doc said it's somthing I'm going to have to live with and find what level of pain I can deal with since I have to live with it. If that means trying to work legs and my knee swells up and I can live with it then try to find the best way to cause the least amount of pain. I'm not going to just give up

My 90 comes from a lot of things... My knee, depression issues, my sholders, both knees. Back. Basicly anything I ever went to the doc about in 10 years they look at, there was a lot of physical labor on the boat. So any time I tweeked somthing I went to get been aspirin it was documented.. They do a physical on you based on those things and rate it..
You guys are going to love this but sleep apnea gets you 50%. That's about 450 a month I think.
26 years old, a minor knee injury and yet you have a "laundry list" of "ailments", despite never really doing anything physical while in the military. 90 percent disabled and competes in Bodybuilding shows back to back. LOLOL
I will give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the majority of 90 percent is a brain problem. Lets hope at least.

Nobody here has ever met Mike, all we have to go off of are a few pictures....and yet, the geniuses here seem to think they can assess his health better than his doctor. Oh brother ::)
Navy_Mike, hats off to you man. Good luck with the transition....get a good, marketable education, and enjoy the rest of your life.
-
Yeah. My son-in-law barely talks about his experiences while deployed. Little bits and pieces come out, but it is clearly hard for him to talk about it. Of course it might help if he could.
His SSD court date is tomorrow. I hope it goes well for him. He also suffers short term memory loss. Thing is, you would never guess that he has such an array of disabilities if you met him. He's really a great guy. He is very easy going and he's an amazing husband and father too.
what, he realized we re only stupid animals killing each others in an absurd world, and that he only survived because of pure luck and not because of "god's will" ?

I`m glad that at least you finally get it. Think of all that time you wasted with your former religious ranting and ravings. I think you owe me an apology at the very least. I never hesitated at the opportunity to chastise your religious bullshit. I am glad you have finally seen the light of reason.

Something about my va rating has struck a nerve. There is nothing that I can say to please him..
It's not like he can say he would do the same. He hasn't served. If he did then turned down all the benefits then he would have a foot to stand on based on his moral I guess.. But the fact is he hasn't and can't say what he would do in my situation because he's not...

I would like to see here the service records of the Critics on here. Guys who never had the Balls to join up. ANY Man or Woman who serves or has served has my respect American or British. Enough said on this. this is a Bodybuilding Forum but stop your Disrespect to guys like Navy-Mike. I get a War Pension myself, details i won´t go into on here. Am i a wanker too? Do i deserve it?. Walk the Walk or Shut it.
people who enlist do because they are too dumb to fit in society doing something else. Their parents dont even know what to do with them and secretly wish they coould die, so they convince them to "serve their country" lol. They also look for the benefits.
-
competes in bb and has muscular legs ie no sign of significant injury
does mountainclimbing
out clubbing and dancing
....has 90% disability
lol

I'll say this, if some of you truly feel the way you do about the military and there benifits (funny I don't think some of you are even American so I do know why you have a option on how we treat out vets). I've never meet a vet that said hey I've spend years away from America, with stress levels so high I have mental problems now but I won't take the VA disability.
Say what you will, but I earned mine. If you don't feel that way lets ask you did you serve? No vet would ever ever talk down to a fellow vet for getting his benifits... That's why I don't put to much though into the ones in disagreement are the ones that never put a uniform on.
I've leanered a lot about life and that war is a horrible thing... It's one thing to read about 100,000 people dying in a history book it's another to live it. I've learned that the military is a huge political and humanitarian arm as well. But most of all a show of for. Unlike what the libs like you to belive the real world respects force and power. It's funny that you could get your ass whooped keeps you inline.. Almost like the US are the parents but to keep economical stability it's needed. Just the way the world works
Mike, a little less air of superiority would serve you better. Doesn't gel with that lib sense of entitlement.
-
Were you medically boarded out, Mike? The process my son-in-law went through took over a year. Initially, the military wanted to do a very risky surgery on his neck which could have resulted in his being paralyzed from the neck down. He declined the surgery. The result of this was that the military decided to medically board him out rather then give him a different position that wasn't a physically demanding and that wouldn't further compromise his upper spine.
He had planned on having a long career in the military. That obviously didn't work out. He achieved the rank of E-8 in less than 15 years. Had he been able to continue service until full retirement age, there is no telling how far up the ladder he could have gone. Prior to this happening he was geared up to become a Warrant Officer.
Like in your case, the army kept records of all his knee and back surgeries through the years as well as the various other treatments for his array of medical conditions including treatment for PTSD. He also kept records over the years of all this stuff. Like I said, the process to determine his level of disability was very long and involved. It is still going on to this very day, as he went before a SSD Judge for his SSD claim this morning.
Despite that he would probably never have to work because of his disabilities, like you, he enrolled in college to finish his education so he can eventually go back to work instead of living solely off disability payments. My son-in-law is 41 years old. -Not the most ideal age to be starting over again.
These jerk wads here who slam folks who qualify for disability have no clue what they are talking about. I would venture a guess that most of them have never served in the military nor, do they personally know people who have and who were injured to the point of being disabled. They suggest that disability is granted like it's no big deal to qualify. We both know differently. Their comments are actually laughable and somewhat sad.
Simple Simon said the U.S. (and our allies) aren't fighting for freedom, they are pillaging for resources. Does he take advantage of said resources? Probably. So whether it's freedom or resources, he and all the rest of us are beneficiaries. If these folks spent time seeing how other people have to live in places like Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq they'd think twice before making asses of themselves.

Come on TA you are being unfair, look at the atrophy and damage to that leg.
There may be disagreement about you getting disability for your knee.
However, we would all be in agreement that the shape and size of your head can qualify you for disability. Look at that noggin' That alone should get you 100% disability.

Fortunately, I have a an excellent retirement income as a result of careful planning and a successful career. I don't need disability....you however....
Incidentally, I get offers to do contract work all the time. I chair a board of directors for one organization and serve as secretary-treasurer for another organization. I am asked to speak before large groups on a regular basis. I often work political campaigns, helping to get folks elected to office. I venture to say, as a retired person I have more responsibility than you do.

Ya, they're living & dying in shit because we keep bombing them in wartime and screwing them in peacetime. And then when really pissed off people gather a following we're all "Why u mad tho?!" Lather, rinse, repeat.
The world's primary natural resource. We keep sending armies there. But it's for the downtrodden people. Of course.
Not to don the foil hat but lets cut the shit. Those who make the decisions want the oil and are willing to kill vast numbers of people (including Americans) to wrest control of it from the people who live on top of it.

Hey guys any vets here on get big? This was a long time coming but Today was my last day after 9 years of service due to a knee injury.
Anyone have any advice? Im already signed up for school as I know there is no way i can be competitive in the job market with out one
Btw the alpha beard is already underway

If you can heal up the knee, apply for Corrections, worked for me!!!

These guys have no idea how the process works...at all. The dude who reviews your records is trying to fuck you. If you don't have documentation you aren't getting anything. I have both knees, hamstrings, shoulders all documented. Hearing loss, chemical exposure...everything. Getting 90% generally means your fucked up. More power to him if he can still train.

Mike bust his knee keeping us safe from brown people that want to cut off our heads. He loves freedom. We love freedom. We love Mike for fighting for our freedom.
I think he should get more than he's getting for that knee injury that he got fighting for our freedom - the very freedom we use to denigrate this hunk of naval man. I hope be spends the money on some high quality street pussy. They are also free to sell their pussy - why? You got it, because Mike fought for their freedom.Damn, he should be getting that pussy for free. He deserves to drop a free deuce on booty's chest just for fighting for her freedom to indulge in perverted , messy midget sex.
You hate Mike? You hate freedom. See how that worked out for Osama.

I think they are more laxed with the requirements now so they can thin out the armed forces a bit. They know people abuse the system just like some welfare recipients. I don't think they would care if you sent them info on Navy Mikes activities.

Likely not, the tax payer funds it, fuck the tax payer.
However if they were responsible for their own budgets and had profits to make and maintain then they would be all over it.

This is not one of them... its one thing to do a little juice, some leg extensions, and have decent legs. That doesnt mean that your knee is good to go at all.
He has had very serious surgical procedures done on the knee. Its legit fucked up. It was fucked up in the service of OUR country, he deserves to be compensated for it.
Yeah, im going to have to back up V's play here..
