Battle for Benefits: Veteran requests compensation for spinal issues related to flight training

Jeremy Schuld joined the military 20 years ago. He wanted to battle terrorism after 9/11.

He didn’t expect to end his military career in a battle for benefits.

“It was a rough way to end to end an otherwise very good career,” Schuld told the ABC15 Investigators earlier this month.

Schuld’s career took him to combat zones overseas. Stateside, he spent five years as an Air Force flight instructor in a T-6 Texan II. He said he taught “basic introduction to dogfighting” while stationed at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi.
