Airman loses hand shooting fireworks. http://www.adn.com/2011/01/03/1630530/man-loses-hand-in-fireworks-accident.html

His hand was destroyed. So sad.

I was wondering what will happen to this young man? Apparently it ends his military service. What kind of discharge will be given? Will he have to pay his medical bills at the civilian hospital? Upon discharge will he be intitled to treatment at the VA? What other benefits will be lose because of this accident?

Medical Discharge........Fireworks Legal, so is stupidity...... But he should be taken care of since he was Active Duty....

The issue comes in to play on the percentage.... He will need to ensure they don't low-ball him.:blink:

Yes it is a shame, but holding fireworks? Really?
