Will PTSD cause you to get discharged from the army?

Answer 1

The determination of this will depend upon the individual soldier's direct chain of command. They will take into consideration, utilizing regulations that are available to soldiers in book form through their S-1/personnel office, performance, medical requirements of their MOS and/or combat readiness (if applicable). There are different medical and psychological discharge sections, as well as specific procedural guidelines that must be followed, so it is best to learn about them as soon as possible, and to be aware of one's own medical/psychological and/or profile status. Do not assume that the guidelines are being followed by those making the determination - always double check. Mistakes and oversights do occur. Being one's own advocate is key.
