A medical "retirement" is not "retirement." Don't be a dink. He wouldn't sign his name, "Sgt Whatever, US Army Ret."
He's considered medically seperated because he's under 20 years you fucking illiterate dink. If he had OVER 20 years and had a medical condition that precluded him from active duty THEN he would be medically retired. Do you not understand the difference between seperation and retirement?
If he had OVER 20 years and had a medical condition
It's not AND, it's OR, per the wording of the fucking rules you think you understand.
20 years service IS NOT A REQUIRMENT for medical RETIREMENT.
Retirement DOES NOT exclusively mean "spent two decades doing this and stepped out with a lifetime paycheck."
Literal definition of RETIREMENT is withdrawal from one's position.
MEDICAL RETIREMENT is a withdrawal from one's position due to MEDICAL REASONS, and it DOES NOT require having served 20 years. You are WRONG and playing a fucking gate-keeping semantics game over "separated" vs "retired."
Do you not understand the difference between seperation and retirement?
Do YOU, nigger?

Medical disability retirement – 20 years of active service is not required
Those with less than 20 years of active service and who have been awarded a disability rating of 30 percent (or higher) technically qualify for medical retirement.
There is an important difference between being medically retired and being involuntarily separated from the military because of a medical condition. “Retirement” involves retirement pay, the “separation” option does NOT.
You are RETIRED if you are granted RETIREMENT classification and pay, regardless of the amount of time you spent enlisted.
You're wrong you dumb motherfucker, you stepped on your dick and didn't know the finer points of what the fuck you were talking about, just take the loss like a man you dumb shit.
It's like you got caught being retarded and doubled down in being wrong.

"Technically qualify" is quite different from an automatic designation. You have to have a medical review board and the condition has to be permanent and even then you only qualify, you're not automatically granted status.
I guarantee you this particular dink was medically seperated at best. Sergeants don't get "retired."
Enlist and see for yourself.

NOBODY said anything about automatically being granted retirement status.
You said retirement is ONLY applicable to 20 years enlisted, you were fucking wrong, don't move the goal posts now.

Saying this to me like I don't know when I'm the one quoting fucking TRICARE sources?
It's like you got caught being retarded and doubled down in being wrong.
You're the one doubling down on being wrong you projecting dickwad.

You can't guarantee anything faggot, you don't know a damn thing about this dude's discharge circumstances.
Sergeants don't get "retired."
I know god damn PRIVATES who've been medically retired. That's why I know you're a fucking moron who thinks he knows what he's talking about but doesn't.
Enlist and see for yourself.
For fuck's sake, did you get a single digit GT score?
I mean really, do you think a CIVILIAN would have ANY awareness of this issue whatsoever?
You aren't the only veteran on this site, cocksucker.
P.S. - Oh, hey, look what else I found.
My name is Angel. I am the wife of Retired Army Sgt. Kenneth Harrelson, a 100% disabled veteran
He was medically retired out of the Army and has had to endure two back surgeries and a shoulder surgery.
Front leaning rest position, fucker.
Do pushups.
