I need some advice on a sensitive topic regarding my boyfriend. He was discharged early from the Air Force and told me it was due to having sickle cell disease traits, which he mentioned he inherited from his dad. However, I did some research and found that having sickle cell trait usually doesn’t lead to an automatic discharge.

I’m feeling a bit confused and concerned. I want to understand his experience better, but I’m also worried he might not be telling me the whole story. How can I approach this conversation without sounding accusatory? Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have any insights on this? I really appreciate any advice!
