I was in the Army, enlisted 4 years and Warrant Officer for 10. As a WO, the first 8 yrs I was on active duty under USAR status. When promoted to CW3, I completed the Oath of Office and was then appointed RA. (1996). One year later I screwed up and was discharged for the good of the service. I would now like to get VA compensation for a military related injury but, due to my last DD214, I am bared from benefits. (IAW USC 38) My question is: Can my time served as a WO on AD/USAR status (8yrs), be separated from the time I served after accepting RA? This subtle distinction may allow me to separate my officer service into two distinct phases of Honorable vs. my current designation of General under Honorable Conditions (with designation "for the good of the service").
