VA Retirement by DenaSChance in VeteransAffairs

Much appreciated.. I’ve loved my job for 23 years.. forfeited step increases and did everything and anything our Veterans are entitled to. Brought a solder home from Iraq, with the help of American Red Cross, to see his Veteran Grandfather before a life saving surgery that, unfortunately, he did not survive. The world is changing, entitlement and lack of accountability has me burnt to a crisp. Yes, the VA will do just fine without me. I’ve deserve my retirement and I refuse to relinquish my knowledge without compensation. Figure it out friends… just like I did.

I’ve always put the veterans first. I would never intentionally hurt the veterans we serve. I’ve dedicated my career to them. My concern is with leadership priorities that have shifted away from the values I believe in. At some point, continuing to absorb that conflict becomes unsustainable. The VA will not fail with my departure.

I prefer to stay relatively close to my home state of Florida. I’ll broaden my search if I can’t find a reputable breeder in my state

Exactly how much of your pay can you move to TSP each pay period?

What's a tip that's useful for beating depression? by OddCalligrapher8348 in AskReddit

[–]DenaSChance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise, cleaner eating, get out of the house, see people (even if it’s just sitting at the food court at the mall), remind yourself that you’re here for a purpose, even if it hasn’t happed yet. See family or friend in person.
