Being Threatened with a Discharge?

Guess what?

Your NCO leaders have zero ability to discharge you for anything.

Only your Company Commander can do that.

So, you might want to think about asking to go see the Commander under the open-door policy, and show him that you are a good troop, have a medical issue that you and your doctor are trying to solve, and that you want to be where you are. Do this WITHOUT mentioning that your NCO chain seems to have it out for you, so you do not come off like a whiner. You want to show the Old Man that you have an medical issue and you are working hard to solve it.

Ezz,

I had to be discharged for medical reasons. It sucks. The problem is that there was this issue going on in the Marine Corps at the time where battalion commanders were being told to try to just administratively discharge people like me and under a General discharge so the government would not be obligated to pay for disability. While I know this isn't your problem, you are in a similar situation in that your direct chain of command is trying to get you to do something that is against orders. They assume you're faking it and are hoping that putting pressure on you will get you to stop faking it. They are being *****.

Your priority right now is healing up properly. After all, you're a less effective soldier right now and you need to get back up to speed. Until that happens, trying to force you to work in a full capacity is not only stupid, but can cause more damage and make this broken wrist a permanent problem. Don't let them do that to you.

Your platoon has absolutely no authority over you being discharged. Zero. They cannot just decide they don't want you anymore. I would recommend visiting your company commander and seeing what your options are as far as being moved to a different platoon or even a different company. If your company CO is a douche bag as well, you have absolutely every right to request mast (I think you call it something else in the Army...it's where you file a piece of paper demanding to see a higher up person outside of your immediate command to help you resolve an issue, and if that person can't resolve it then it goes higher and higher until someone resolves it). On top of that, as a US citizen, you have every right to contact your congressperson and even the inspector general. Trust me, your platoon doesn't want to be the reason the damn inspector general comes looking at your company.

Chaplains are able to give some good, non-religious advice (depending on the person). If you have a good rapport with your chaplain or at least know him/her to not be a douche bag, I would recommend seeing your chaplain to help explain the stuff I laid out here. Being an officer who probably has served longer than you, your chaplain may also be able to provide some other recommendations.

Don't feel guilty about this. You enlisted to serve and, like the rest of us, you don't have a body invulnerable to injury. Instead of taking the easy way out trying to get a discharge, you are trying to stay in to fulfill your contract. Nothing you are doing makes you a sh*tbird or faker. You know this. Remind your platoon of this whenever they start spouting sh*t, too. Remind them that the doc wouldn't keep you on light duty unless there was really a problem. You might be able to fake something like, say, a headache but you can't fake a broken wrist because there are very easy tests (like x-rays) to prove it. Remind your platoon of this very obvious stuff in hopes it finally gets through their dickish skulls.
