Looking to call them this weekend before I sign. Looking at an initial 20% from the army then adjusted by the VA

That's all I got. Bobby is good people. Pick his brain while the opportunity is there.

If things work out, I like this road trip you speak of.

If they still say no because it is not approved then go to a civilian leader I.E. Congress or Senate. Now if you can not find that science or you are not a candidate for that surgery dont go making a big stir. You may not know but I am in similar shoes only at 15years. I have learned a lot so if you have questions please PM me.
Take you time and have a plan. Have the plan start with a nice smoke the day you get out and say good bye to your last step as the sun sets and prepare to say hello when the sun rises to a new path.
