I got pushed out as a FOS and was looking to continue my service in the reserves to eventually make my 20 (and to hopefully still fly).
My VA disability package came back, and I was expecting a 60%ish rating but due to my collective issues was granted a 100% disability rating.
Can I serve in the reserves with any rating? I've seen in google searches on other forums people who serve in the Army Reserve with up to 60% or so... but there isn't any info on Navy Reserves. Especially not when it has to do with the aviation side of the house. I presume at the least I'd be giving up my flight ability with the Navy, and obviously I understand you need to waive the portion of your disability payments while on active duty or performing drill... but can I join at ALL with such a high rating? Is it worth it?
If anyone has any personal recommendations or guidance they could share with me, people who might be serving in the reserves now with a VA disability rating... please PM me. Feel free to make recommendations below, if you can... but anyone who has some serious knowledge and doesn't mind giving me the gouge in a more private manner please PM it.
