That's all you need. Your not the first nor the last. On my last deployment I was sent as a single. As I was out processing I asked the medical clerk if I could get a copy of my file. I'd torn up my shoulder and had some other medical issues. She explained it'd all be forwarded in my file. I asked again and I got it. Turns out when I got back my file had NO medical paperwork. That medical unit left soon after I did. Trying to track that paperwork would of been nearly impossible. That paperwork, my copy, turned out to be over 50% of the disability payment I receive. Glad you have found a good rep.The one time my unit got their orders to deploy, literally came the day I was on the operating table for my first knee surgery, that happened during training. so, no deployments. I'm trying to get a rep through DAV as they come highly recommended. Just missing some paperwork thats gonna make it difficult to prove. Same with my back injury. Unit lost the LOD paperwork... so while I have my copies, nothing was ever officially filed on either.
