I’m a permanent LMC A2 with a broken left index finger. I’m stationed at a high altitude area, around 8,000 feet. The doctor won’t excuse me from duty due to the altitude. When I refused to go on temporary duty because of my injury, I was given a black mark on my record. I need legal advice as they are planning to send me to a 14,000-foot altitude for my next duty assignment.

Your injury and the doctor’s refusal to excuse you from duty, combined with the black mark on your record, raises concerns about your health and safety. It’s crucial to seek legal advice from a lawyer specializing in military law to understand your rights and options in this situation. They can advise you on potential legal remedies and the best course of action to protect your well-being.
