This condition has just appeared in the last six months. They said I've probably had it all along but it's just now flaring up. What will happen to me? I have to tell them and give them all of the x-rays and doctors notes. I have over 12 yeas of combined active and National guard service. I don't want out but I can't physically perform my duties anymore. My doctor even specifically stated that I can't be deployed. I've already done one tour in Iraq and would go back if asked, however, I can't. Anybody know what's going to happen to me from here?

You will have a Report of Medical Board prepared. That report will be sent on to the Army Physical Evaluation Board. Given your years of service, this condition will be considered to be incurred in or aggravated by your period of service. The physical evaluation board will probably agree that you are unfit for retention and issue a recommended finding of a percentage of disability. You can accept that or rebut it. Should you choose the latter course, you will make a personal appearance before that physical evaluation board to make your case for either retention or a high disability award. The decision of that board, after reviewing your rebuttal is final.
It is also possible that the initial Report of Medical Board could recommend a period of limited duty for you, in hopes that therapy and time may reduce the severity of your condition. If that option is excercised by the doctors, you will be re-evaluted after the period of limited duty is completed. During that period you will have a profile of P-3.

I was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma in 1996 and (after I jumped through all the hoops) was given a medical profile with no duty restrictions and worldwide deployability. (I did a tour in Iraq also!)
Here is what you need to do:
1) Get a referral to an asthma specialist and tell him that you need an aggressive program to get your asthma under control.
2) Sign up at a local fitness center and get a coach to help you prepare to do _Really Well_ on the APFT.
3) Once your asthma is locked down and totally under control - get a pulmonary functions test and give the results to your unit.
4) Do _not_ allow the unit medics to place you on a 'no PT' profile. Take the APFT and shoot for a score of 270 or higher.
5) Make sure a copy of your APFT score card is included in your packet to the medical board.
This is what worked for me.

Something will only happen if you push for it.. I have to admit that I'm skeptical of you on this, people don't just develope asthma, especially a severe case.. It's something you're born with.. Not to mention that you didn't know about this until recently? After 12 years in the military? Nothing through basic training? Seems odd to me.. I have asthma and I damn near died in basic training.. I still made it through and went to Iraq... If you wanted, being in the guard.. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. It's not like you can't bring an inhaler with..

If you have developed a medical problem which keeps you from fulfilling your military duties, you will more than likely be given a medical discharge. Since the condition developed while you have been in the service, the Veteran's Administration will take care of your medical needs.

How the HELL did you go through BCT and a tour in Iraq without noticing severe asthma? Oh yeah, and you'll probably be medically discharged. Expect a check from Uncle Sam for the rest of your life as well, you lucky bastard.
