Okay. Do not show up for the C&P exam. Check. Don’t show up for the Travel Board Hearing. Check. Ignore the Risk Factors Questionnaire they mailed out to you. Check. Tell them you were an IVDU kind of guy. Check. 5 years later tell them you weren’t. Check. Lose your case. Done Deal. Wait a minute! What happened? I want to appeal this thing. Too late. Cognitive brain disorder, maybe?

Living proof of people who are terminally braindead. This guy could have won this with some finesse. One thing is for sure, if you do nothing to help win it, you’ll lose it. If you think these cases win themselves, perhaps you haven’t noticed the odds are about 15 out of 100- and that is for cases that actually have a chance of winning. This VET probably deserves SC. Too bad he didn’t do something to help his SO or himself. Look up dumb in the dictionary and there will be a picture of this guy with the quote “Bummer, dude!” under it.
