Thank you very much for the question.
As I mentioned earlier, in 2018, I was told that I was leaving the army for medical reasons and I was asked to take the steps to obtain a health insurance card and to find a doctor.
The last time I saw a health insurance card I was 18, when I had a physical exam to join the army. That was the last entry in my civilian record. I left the army 32 years later. I am 55. That is a difference between a military member and a civilian.
Whenever something is not right, the civilian has the chance to go see a doctor, keep a medical record and have follow-up appointments accordingly. For military members, that is a bit more complicated.
I could say that is the difference right there.
