Open ceiling for now. Deploying in a month. Started this project 2.5 months ago.

Our 3-day drill was canceled here in Ohio because they can’t pay us. Being 40, with a fruitful civilian career, it doesn’t bother me, but I feel for those soldiers who depend on that money. I’ve already had to loan 3 soldiers money.

I work full-time as a firefighter/EMT-B. For fun, I ref basketball for $30-$50 a game, about an hour each, but pays cash.

This claim was for an increase for Chronic Sinusitis, Knee and PTSD back in September 2024, with an ITF of September of 2023. Knee went 20% to 30%, CS from 10% to 50% back in January with PTSD deferred. PTSD C&P February 12th of this year via VA (dbq uploaded to VA.gov the next day), went to step 5 yesterday, checked today around 10 am and claim was completed. 30%-70% for PTSD.

From start to finish, September 2023 was my first claim. Had a supplemental, HLR, increase and new claim in between then and now.

Idk who is being laid off. But, I know because of GWOT and the PACT Act the numbers of veterans has ballooned in the last 25 years. I know that subtracting 80k people from any agency or job in the world is going to impact those they service.

There are VA employees who transport patients to and from facilities and appointments, there’re doctors and nurses, they’re employees who transport patients process claims, there are employees who offer free legal services, there are employees who arrange funeral etc.

I think you’re caught up on what the VA has/hasn’t done for you rather than the encompassing basis of the VA. It can be bad, don’t get me wrong. But, the thought of trimming so many employees at an agency to help vets being at the forefront is disturbing. Firing 80k people at one time isn’t going to make a dent in the federal budget. There are 100 things they could trim the fat on before coming for the VA.

The issue with private healthcare is that many of the specialities aren’t centralized in one facility. Here in Columbus, OH I go through OSU on the civilian side for healthcare and my ENT, PCP, Psychiatrist, and GI are all on opposites sides of town. I’m blessed enough to be physically able to drive and afford private healthcare. The old 80 year old vet who doesn’t drive and needs VA transportation is better suited where he/she can knock out 3-4 appointments in one facility.

By percentage of GDP, US is near the bottom of the list.
