Re: Question for you Marines.
Mark,
It's just an entry level seperation (ELS). Service people with less than 180 days service receive these. Basically no harm no foul but if the injury is directly related he does need to visit the VA:
This is C & P from the VA
You do not have to meet the 24 continuous months of active duty service requirement if you:
Were a reservist who was called to Active Duty and who completed the term for which you were called, and who was granted an other than dishonorable discharge, or
Were a National Guard member who was called to Active Duty by federal executive order, and who completed the term for which you were called, and who was granted an other than dishonorable discharge, or
Only request a benefit for or in connection with:
a service-connected condition or disability; or
treatment and/or counseling of sexual trauma that occurred while on active military service; or
treatment of conditions related to ionizing radiation; or
head or neck cancer related to nose or throat radium treatment while in the military.
Were discharged or released from active duty for a hardship , or
Were discharged with an ?early out?; or
Were discharged or released from active duty for a disability that began in the service or got worse because of the service; or
Have been determined by VA to have compensable service-connected conditions; or
Were discharged for a reason other than disability, but you had a medical condition at the time that
Was disabling, and
In the opinion of a doctor, would have justified a discharge for disability (in this last case, the disability must be documented in service records)
If he was discharged for a pre-exsisting condition he is on his own.
