Hey guys, I'm currently going to the VA hospital and am being treated for back injuries I recieved from tours in Iraq. I've been told I should put in for a disability claim for this. I can physically do the job of a cop, but I can't do the one I did as an Infantryman like wearing heavy body armor daily, road marches, 12 mile runs,etc. So any advice on this subject would be very helpful.

As long as your not over 70% disability you should be fine.
