Personality Disorders and Post 9/11

Does anyone have experience with vets diagnosed with personality disorders, post 9/11?

The general policy is that vets with this characterization of discharge must attend a central Board in Washington, DC. The chances of the characterization being amended is very low. Actually, it's pretty much impossible.

In other words, if an SM was diagnosed with a "personality disorder", he or she requires a waiver for re-enlistment...which can't be obtained...at least in this state...even with clinical evidence to the contrary.

I have a personal situation regarding this. If anyone can offer advice, I would appreciate the feedback, which recruiters are unwilling to provide. Too much paperwork.

The 2014 NDAA, while known for its controversies, orders the DoD to report on the problem of wrongful discharges in military services.

Unfortunately SGT Private RallyPoint Member, I do not have any experience with this and can therefore offer no advice. However, I do appreciate you posting this discussion and bringing awareness to the issue.
