nothing in life is guaranteed except taxes and death.
since your husband wasn't injured on the job, the national guard doesn't owe your husband anything 'cept the medical insurance he's entitled as long as he's still enlisted in the guard.
if your husband is permanently crippled, then he needs to get a desk job since he wont be able to perform his duties 100% in the field.
having 8 children is mighty expensive hobby .... hopefully you have a good paying job

I am sure the Major was just trying to instill confidence in your husband who apperantly was concerned. However the Major is not physcic or a doctor so he doesn't know.
If your husband is not able to preform his duty or complete a PT test then he is out of luck. The military is here to serve us and they can't do that if the people don't meet up to the standards.
It wasn't a service connected injury so he wont get a rating for it. I am not sure of all fo the details becuase you havent told the extent of the injuries exactly what they are doing with him. But if you are saying they are medically discharging him it must be a serious injury

Yes, we can trust the Army National Guard. Your hubby needs to get a profile or work out until he can pass the run. He knows the drill after 13 years. Be supportive of him and the Guard instead of, after 13 years, questioning whether or not you can trust the Guard.

ok your saying you were supporting 8 children off national guard salary??? thats just craziness, i think more than likely whats up here is your husband was due for reenlistment and was disqualified because he couldnt pass the physical, due to an injury he got on his off duty time at your private residence.......if a military doctor doesnt have him on a profile then he has to pass the PT test or get out thats just the way it works.

If your husband does not have a profile, then he must take the PT test.
If he is still suffering from the injury, he should have a profile (a doctors slip saying that he cannot run until the injury is healed.)
If he has healed and had time to recover from the injury, then he must get back up to speed on the run.

If your husband was treated in the Army medical facility-- could get a waiver from the doctor because of the nature of the injury.. Major will do what he can

You have 8 children AND a horse?
Get rid of the horse.
