I echo TR's comments and also wish you the best. With that said - You need to carefully consider ALL of the ramifications of "giving up" your disability rating and pursuing additional uniformed service. The VA is not your friend. Your disabilities will be around a lot longer than anything you might be able to contribute to the fight. Speak with a Veteran's advocate with one of the service organizations DAV, VFW, etc.) and learn the facts before you commit yourself. Take it from somebody who's seen his share of government "insurance adjusters".

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
