Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for being here.
When I was in the military, there was a process with a temporary medical category leading perhaps to a permanent medical category. I'm wondering if you might be able to explain that process to the committee. I ask because sometimes there is a perception that, “Oh, we have an injured soldier; he's out.” I don't think that's quite the case.
You had mentioned before that the process can take two to three years, depending on the condition. I'm wondering if you could perhaps walk us through the temporary category process, the permanent category process—with an injury that is either self-disclosed by a soldier or noticed by the system, let's say, when it's known that the soldier has an injury—and perhaps the timeframes involved. When you talk about the temporary category, phase one, can you explain some of the time periods that are involved in that?
