Hi Sapphire,
I think this is great advice, and it's close to what I was guessing was probably the case...the military is not really out to get anyone.
I think they are mainly trying to establish that a soldier or officer has a preexisting condition so they won't wind up with a lawsuit with someone claiming the service did it to them.
Another consideration is that I did not have this (official) diagnosis when I originally accessed (entered military duty). I hear that if a condition develops during your military career, they are less inclined to consider you unfit.
It's so encouraging to hear this. Thanks so much for telling me your (and your husband's) story. The military paid for all my dental training, and I sincerely want to pay it back to the best of my capabilities (cheesy, but true!).
Thanks again!
Matt
