if you receive a disability check for the military can you still enlist in the military later.?

Question

iam in the marines and want to go into the air force

Answer 1

No, unless your MOS allows you to be recalled for special duty. Check with your discharge officer first before acepting a disabled discharge. If you can/do re-enlist you'll loose your disability payment. You can't be active/disable at the same time.

Answer 2

Depends upon WHO is giving you the disability check.

It all depends upon HOW you left the Marines. If you left at the end of your tour, got an honorable discharge and are now getting a service connected disability check from the VA, you can go back onto active duty in the Air force if they will take you.

That is because when you left the Marines you were still considered world wide qualified and fit for duty. What the VA does, does not matter in that regard.

However, if you left the Marines before your tour was up with a medical separation, it is highly unlike they USAF will take you. The criteria for a medical separation is you are no longer fit for world wide duty and the Air Force will not want you any more than the Marines would want you back.

Answer 3

I'm not sure how this works, but I have heard of people that get a disability check from one branch while serving in another. I think it depends on what the disability is for. the case I know is the guy gets a 15% disability check for a knee injury from the Marines, but he is currently in the Air National Guard.

Answer 4

well first of all you need to understand that currently its nearly impossible to get into the AF as a prior enlisted from another branch with or without a disability..the only exceptions that are really made to that are linguists and things like that. I also dont think if you have an injury severe enough to be collecting disability you would meet the standards for enlistment..your best bet is going to be to talk to a recruiter.

Answer 5

Why the hell could your youngster receive exams interior the mail from the defense force? Why the hell could the defense force deliver your youngster a "verify" for the reason that his daddy is away? in case you like baby help, you may take him to court docket, get a DNA try, teach that he's the father and then the court docket will order baby help money month-to-month on your baby. you seem as though a complete fool, and you're procreating? See, for this reason little ones should not be having little ones. thank you for persevering with the dregs of uneducated, trashy mum and dad producing toddlers like rabbits.

Answer 6

one, the AF does not take Prior Service. Two, if you are receiving Disability you have to give that up before attempting to re enlist..and the condition for which you are receiving said Disability has to no longer be a factor.

Answer 7

If you receive a disability check from the military it means that you no longer meet the physical standards for retention. Therefore, you do not meet the physical standards for enlistment in any other branch.

Answer 8

You can re-enlist or move to another branch at the end of your contract. You will probably loose your disability check, depending on your MOS in the other branch. You will probably have to go through a medical review to determine if your fit.

Answer 9

I know that it has been done in the past but rules change and the situation may have changed. The individual I know of had to agree to a decrease in his disability rating. I don't know if he got a check when he went back to active duty or not. Best bet, talk to a recruiter and look for answers in black and white. Don't rely on us amateurs for an answer. Good luck.

Answer 10

Ask someone in requiting office, or go back to the branch you worked for and ask them
