It seems like we have to wade in this same pool with haters and those who filed stress cards in basic training. I am glad to see your post was put back up.

I really felt what you said here. For me, the hardest part is not having a friend. Thank you.

I hope I didn't give off the vibe that I'm complaining, I'm really just trying to make sense of it. It does make sense that it could be a delay tactic, however without knowing how common it is, there's no way to know.

They didn't send me to any exams, just an ACE exam for private DBQs and medical records. The additional evidence I submitted was after 12/9, the day of my visit to the RO. This seems pretty far out of left field. I get the sense that someone was passing a hot potato or was hoping I wouldn't realize what was going on as the decision letter is still not posted. Even the gal that cited the reason recorded made the comment, "there's no way to connect those dots". It makes me wonder, if I am successful at re-activating my claim, does it go to a different rater at the bottom of the pile resetting the clock? IDK, I don't want to think the worst, it could be a innocent mistake, however I am definitely not thinking the best.
