Result:
To all who signed, thank you very much. I was given a field grade Article 15 and given 45 days of restriction, 45 days of extra duty, they took $2,000 of my pay. I did not lose my rank, and am currently recieving the proper medical treatment that I originally had asked for. Thank you all for your support, and if you'd like to contact me you can email me @ texasbred23@yahoo.com or myspace @ www.myspace.com/hudsonsforever. THANK YOU!
Background (Preamble):
I am a Sergeant in the United States Army. I deployed to Iraq for the 06-08 rotation in October of 2006 with the 1st Cavalry Division.
During my deployment I was involved in several roadside bomb attacks, 5 of which hit my vehicle. The last of these attacks, occurred May 7th, 2007. This attack rendered me unconscious, and I had to be EVAC’d to the hospital on the base. After finding I had suffered no neck/ spinal cord injuries, I was released to the clinic for observation for about an hour.
After this, the treatment plan for the next 9 days was merely bed rest and time off. After seeking further medical treatment, but not getting it, I told them I would seek further treatment while home on leave if my problems persisted. I then returned home on leave for R & R in June of 2007.
The medical treatment I was to receive from a civilian doctor would have kept me home longer than my leave would allow, so I was denied the coverage and told to return to Iraq immediately. I asked to report back to my unit on Fort Hood so I could see a doctor there before returning to Iraq to make sure I was okay. I was denied, and told to return to Iraq immediately.
Seeing that the United States Army was refusing me medical treatment, I told them I wouldn’t return to duty until I was allowed to see a doctor. I was AWOL and become a deserter, waiting for permission. It took until November 15th for someone to agree to let me see the doctor, so I have reported back to Fort Hood, and am receiving medical treatment.
However, now I am being charged with being AWOL and missing movement back to Iraq, and am facing a punishment that would include loss of rank and pay, restriction and extra duty for 45 days, and unable to receive any awards or decorations or be promoted for 12 months.
I don’t believe I should losing my Sergeant Stripes for my actions. PLEASE HELP!!
I need YOUR help to get me some support and show them that this isn’t right.
