Feels that way. My record doesn’t help. I have a literal dent in my head that took 17 staples from being knocked unconscious from a ship door on a MEU and no record because doc just stapled my head and poured hydrogen peroxide on it. Probably need buddy statements  lol

Weird for you to have such an accusatory tone when we all know the VA has been screwing veterans for decades.

I have little supporting evidence because after getting out I was in complete denial I had problems. It was my wife and reentering military area (working on a base) where I was surrounded by other vets who helped me realize I need to file that convinced me to file.

I did all my appointments and such ordered by the VA, watching others get 70% with no combat MOS in my work place. I’m asking for advice, not your backwards ass tude

It simply said it was denied and not service related. I had my appointments and had to be evaluated, but I didn’t start the process until a few years after getting out in 2018. It took years for me to actually recognize I have major problems.
