yeah, my s**t is starting to break too. My back bugs me, my feet bug me after running, I have tinnitis like a mother, I have a hamstring issue I've been dealing with ever since I tore it in 1999 and my joints bug me too. I really need to go to medical to document it all but every time I go in the docs typically just try to give me motrin and send me on my way. I don't have that kind of time to waste typically so I just self-medicate. No offense to the corpsmen out there, it's mainly the docs I'm talking about. And I don't think it's entirely their fault either, the whole Tricare system is over extended and they don't have time to really consider your condition if you have one. That's a different thread all together though:-)
I can retire NOV07, so I plan to, that'll be 24 years at that point.
