You get diagnosed with #cancer while on transitional leave. You get referred to MEB, you return to your unit and your #ETS orders get revoked, your elect to continue the #MEB process IAW AR 635-200 para 1-24, you file a reques for an extension to complete MEB. 1/

The CG denies your extension because his office says you were #cancer free and was recalled to AD to get diagnosed. You have never left the #Army up until that point. The Army separates you. While you are still waiting for final cancer determination by the Army itself. 2/

You still have Army appointments to go through next week, but you are no longer in the #Army. And the Army didn't pay you EOM either and the money's tight because your $ cushion was for 5 months. // This is why we volunteer our time to do what we do.
