[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2683199, member: 42"] I didn't think Hathcock's MS came around until later in his career, not while he was in Vietnam. Also, IIRC, he was medically retired with a 100% rating....which is financially better than the 50% retired pay he would've received if he was allowed to just retire at 20 years (I don't believe there was concurrent receipt back in the 70's)....but for a hard charger like him, I can imagine being medically discharged in lieu of LOS retirement would be tough to handle (especially dealing with a serious illness on top of the host of other issues everyone has when leaving the service after a lengthy career).
