It is initiated by a medical provider putting a 3 on one or more of your PULHES (profile). The Army is not medically removing Soldiers at this time just because there are events that a Soldier cannot complete on the ACFT. You&#39;ll be finished with your 3 years before you have to take the ACFT for record. Why not wait it out and just ETS?

Some days I can barely move from my back injury. How am I to instruct the junior enlisted assigned to me, without being a hypocrite. How can I justify counseling them for failing when I am failing? The desire is still strong Within, ultimately the body has failed my desire SGT Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 05 Sep 2020 21:50:23 -0400 2020-09-05T21:50:23-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-do-i-initiate-a-medical-discharge-from-the-reserves?n=6283417&urlhash=6283417 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You should provide your provider at your unit a copy of the records that reflect your rating. Your provider may have be able to recommend you for a MEB. The issue most of the time in the Reserves is that they don&#39;t have a copy of your medical records that show you are not able to deploy and maintain your readiness.
