In 1985, the Major was exposed to radiation from a leaking microwave transmitter. The Officer developed endocrinological disorders and gained more than 100 pounds. He was treated by Army and civilian medical providers over the course of his active and reserve duty statuses, but later discharged due to his weight gain and other factors while pending a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB). MNB Law Attorneys were able to successfully argue to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records the Officer should have been referred to the MEB process for review.
