Can I Sue The U.S. Military?
Find answers to your legal question.





Can I Sue The U.S. Military?

I was separated from the Air Force for Erroneous Enlistment which basically means that I did not inform them of my situatuion, but I was given a waiver for my situatuion and now I have been denied a waiver to get into the Army and no other branch will take me. Is there anyway that I can sue them for their wrong doing.
Additional Details
A lot of people are reading my question wrong I did inform them of my situatuion that is how I got the waiver in the first place. What I am saying is I was seperated for Erroneous Enlistment but it is not Erroneous if they were informed by me and the Doctor that performed the surgery said that it would be ok and they gave me the waiver for it. With that being said I was seperated after a month for what I got the waiver for and now has been denied entry form other branches for a mistake that the military made. If I told them how can it be erroneous and can I sue them for it.

No. You fraudulently enlsted, they caught you. That kind of thing follows you to all the branches waiver or not. Honesty is a core value in the military!

You want to sue for a mistake that you did accidently or possibly on purpose. Well today a person can sue for about anything or reason. But maybe I read your question wrong.

No there is no case there for you i am afraid, Just because the Air force gave you a waiver does not mean that every other branch Willl. I'm sorry that is has happened but believe me it will if you end up trying to sue them it wil be a very expensive process and the military have some top knoch lawyers to deal with their legal affairs

Nope. All you can do is request to do another written statement. BUT, you always need to disclose everything everytime.

If your a civilian you might be able to bring a grievance to only the Air Force, and be forewarned that when they investigate the wavier you and your recruiter could get into some trouble. The other services are completely within their rights to deny you enlistment for whatever it was that you did, they do not have to give you a wavier.

no you may not sue the military. if your condition, waivered originally or not, is a PDQ from service, you are PDQd end of subject. they refuse to take responsibility for a pre existing condition that could end up reoccurring or causing problems down the line.

You have no recourse. The Air force is an entity not an individual. You stated you did not inform them of your own personal situation. IE you withheld information detrimental to you being accepted for enlistment. The waiver you received was only good for entering the air force but they have the right to deny it if they feel you are not forthright with them. As for the Army its square one all over. Remember YOU withheld information.

Probably a cross gender applicant will have a tough time getting in!!! Why don't you just enlist in Castro St.,San Fransicko??

Yes you can but, with permission from the Government. I know it sounds funny but, it is true. I've been in the US Army for 10 yrs. Get a very good attorney to help with this situation. I know that this has to be a hardship on you for a decent job.
Good Luck

You can't sue them. Request a full copy of your records from VA then go through it. If you see a discrepancy make a photo copy of all the forms involved. Send a set to your previous CO, your Senator, and take one to a recruiter. Give all the information you can. Hopefully you will be able to prove your case and overturn your Seperation code which will allow you to return to service.

Why don't you call your congressman and find out WTF happened? It's be far cheaper than a lawyer.
Better yet, find a lawyer who will represent you and sue. I'd be curious to know how much of a retainer they'd want. I'd bet $ 800.00 or more.

Yes consult a lawyer
