No, no, no! Just like the rest of us worms you must spend 6 weeks or better waiting for the DD Form you filled out and mailed in to be answered before you can request an appointment that will allow you to wait fro six months to two years to see a doctor that could give a **** less. You earned these rights, now, exercise them, every one. ;)

It sounds like you know about this all too well.

Funny! :lol

It doesn't say anything about 10k Members either, so I'm with you. I can't eat either, apparently. Just Jason. He can eat. :salute

Unacceptable! Do you have a GoFundMe or something?

Most vets get nothing.
Only those that are 100 % disabled, and good luck with that.
I should say if the VA determines you 100% disabled.
Otherwise, you could be crawling around on the ground with one leg and they don't want to hear it.
But a good American soldier doesn't complain, he just fades away.

No Keven, GoFundMe accounts are for people with a lot more life to live than I am left with. My Car is paid as is my land and my Trailer. On occasion, two or three times a year, somebody wants some photo work so I keep a PayPal account and they will sometime give me fifty or so but I am not that needy that I will beg, okay? I did not even try for my healthcare until I could no longer work because mt dad raised an ornery cus he would be proud of. He fought WWII in the Pacific and Korea and he, like me, did not try for medical until he broke his back, we are a proud a America loving lot.

But thank you. When I needed a ramp for my wheelchair my fellow drivers bought it for me and they almost gorged me with fresh deer meat the first six months, those hard adjustment months. It's good to have friends but it is not good to abuse them.

Yes, it took almost a year before my wounds were declared 100%.

OK, Bill. I guess your story made me mad for a sec. I've no connection with the military myself (my father was in the Army), but I try to support our armed forces whenever I can. For example I'm a paid member of Don Shipley's http://videos.extremesealexperience.com/channel_Phony-Navy-Seal-Of-The-Week (OK, part of it is watching faux SEALs get their comeuppance). I'm struggling too, but so far I've never had to duck 7.62 rounds.
 
Anyway, after 2 days now, I'm still a veteran instead of a guru.
I thought my next stop was swami and I was looking forward to that.
I was looking forward to saying, "shut up, I'm a swami, listen to me".
Yeah, I would of had fun with that one.

And that would show that you were a phony swami. The true swamis simply sit around doing nothing.

A true swami would know he was gonna be a veteran. Cheer up, Rollo. Only 2,333 posts until you're a 10k Member. They drop the lag on the site for you, and jasonc sends you a homemade greeting card!

Small rounds are worth ducking but those stinking B40s when your flying make for bad landings and a volley of 122mm rockets at three in the morning is just rude.

Keven, just help these young men coming home today and do all you can to reveal the stolen valor worms. There is nothing worse than a coward that, then, pretends.
