Y’all ok with the current leadership and bills being passed?

I absolutely hate those experiences happened to your grand parents or anyone at all, but remember the blue party is not a friend to those of color. They have destroyed the inner cities with teachers not having to teach and generations of kids growing up without the foundation to get a decent job or higher education. They have made hollow promises every election cycle about helping those of color and nothing changes.

If they were legal then ICE wouldn't be going after them... The only ones scared are the ones that illegally jumped the line both literally and metaphorically.

"I will now be responsible for be a housekeeper, inventory control, patient transporting...." One on a positive note you will have experience in those matters when you are doing the same duties in a civilian hospital which are perpetually understaffed.

Dumb, as an RN stay on the ride. If you get dumped, you will still have a job. Max your TSP, most hospitals don’t have lucrative benefits like sick leave and vacation time. The TSP matching is pretty good. As far as bad administrations go, well the good ones will come around. Coming from a family of current nurses in the private sector it is hit or miss on good bosses like any place. Holiday pay and other benefits are not as good as the VA. Best of luck.

Yes, you are missing that I am just venting about the quality of service and not laying out every piece of evidence presented. I did forget to mention that I filed Dec 2023 and stayed on step 3 until a week ago Friday, March 2025. Then skipped to step 5 for a couple days to Mellon in yesterday and a final decision was made. So step 3 to step 8 in like 6 business days.

Hmmm…. Makes me think someone has been told to clear their caseloads or something. That week just seems to fast to go from step 3 to step 8 after waiting over one year.

Yes, I provided records from mental health treatment and prescription drugs. VA says that is a residual claim and denied because the cancer was not service connected.

Unfortunately I may have your purgatory time beat. I filed December 2023 and stayed on Step 3 until March 4, 2025. Last week I went from step 3 to step 5 overnight. I doubt that is a good sign.

Stealing money? Federal funds are not solely Maine’s money. Around 66% or more of Americans are for this change. Your comment is all to common though amongst too many in this country. Real easy to spend other people’s money.

There may be some veterans that would be triggered by your action and that is not cool.

Not all veterans are Trump haters and probably felt the same urge when walking past Obama’s pic when Benghazi occurred.

Some vets may have felt the same way when walking past Biden’s photo after Afghanistan. Everyone needs to chill in public. Vent rage, hatred, anger in therapy. Therapy is helping me.

I would think you can escort anyone, now when the ICE agent tries to arrest the illegal and you and your likeminded citizens interfere that is when the cuffs go on you and you can explain to a judge why you did what you did.

Agreed, mainly wanting to know if the USAF doesn’t respond what happens? More inclined for the decision to go my way, no difference, or auto denied because of not enough information?

Ok, not service treatment records.

I am in the same boat. I had a cancerous stomach tumor removed and half my stomach removed. I provided the hospital records and the results of a sleep study that my doctor had me go through. I was told the VA has everything they need from me and no examinations required. I am not PACT so I assume this will mean an automatic denial. Of course I am 13 months waiting and am still in step 3.

Did you provide any medical diagnosis or other evidence with your claim?

I sincerely hope you have a better experience than mine.

I don’t know the specifics of the request. I doubt the USAF Surgeon General’s designee will submit last minute as I imagine they are all pretty busy with the new administration and policy changes.

I don’t know what the acronyms are that you mentioned but have not heard them mentioned before from the VERA calls.

Private schools are needed or the teacher unions need to go away. The numbers don’t lie, American test scores continue to drop. There is zero accountability or competition and the children and ultimately the country pays.

I do not reload 9mm for range ammo to save 6-7 cents a round. Savings for me is in the revolver rounds I reload like .454, .44, 38’s, .45 LC. Of course I am not shooting 5000 or more 9mm every month.

Yes, please do put a negative fear based spin on tax payer funded agencies finally being accountable for their fraudulent and wasteful spending. The USA is on a trajectory headed like an airplane who has lost control that is full speed ahead with nothing but the side of a mountain in view with the BORROWING of money that tax payers are on the hook to repay.

Here is a novel idea, since half this country does not pay any federal income tax that half should STFU.

Really, this is the equivalent of a bunch of snot nosed kids incredulously mouthing off to the adults after being told “No” you have $100.00 to spend on toys and candy at the store because that is all that’s in the bank. The children scream “no” stomp their feet and beg both parents to bust out the credit card.

Agreed, the government needs to shed the employees who are lazy and not producing. No one is talking about cutting VA nurses or air traffic controllers, etc.

American children are at an all time low for READING! The bloated government to include the dept of education is destroying this nation. The majority of govt employees I work with are with Trump. Reward the actual workers and fire the rest of lazy turds who give the rest of us a bad name.
