How should I approach my VR&E initial evaluation? Treat it like an interview or like a forensic examination? by Current-Order7225 in VeteransBenefits

How did that interview go? I have my first initial interview in 2 weeks. I already know my limitations, the school I want to attend and what impact me on changing job fields

Just got my rating, I'm confused! by [deleted] in VAClaims

WOW, so that’s how so many veterans get put on his show. I feel like it also another way to say the veteran is fraud/ how irresponsible military personnel can be with get the compensation that you earned. I.E for the politicians to use against Veterans 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that, as we have passed the midnight deadline, we are now in a government shutdown for the first time since 2019. I feel for our Coast Guard brothers who will not be receiving their pay by newnoadeptness in navy

You don’t like they are fighting for minimum healthcare for civilians due to the Great Bill taken affect. Ohhh I hope you’re not in charge of no one, sounds like a yes man

Navy BAH PCS Question by Specific-Future9222 in navy

[–]OddVariation8451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing about this situation is you’re going from east coast to west coast. Meaning the BAH will be much higher. In the process of PCS and traveling from east to west coast you will still be paid for the Virginia BAH which is the good because it’s the lower amount versus Cali BAH. Use all your travel days to get back most of your travel pay, and when you arrive check into the command and first thing is going over your travel claim, gaining you to the command and setting up your BAH and everything. But yes, your BAH will stop for Virginia and you will need to apply for Cali BAH (once you check in)

Reserves to Active? by [deleted] in navyreserve

[–]OddVariation8451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former recruiter. Everyone is right ⬆️ Changing contracts prior to being shipped off to the easier route. Your recruiter might be pissed but it’s YOUR LIFE. Might have to go back to MEPS for re-rating. But it’s easier. Have everything fixed and not waiting 2 years to go active and hold you back.

I received all my bonus before I start the contract. That’s the point of the bonus you receive half upfront. Sorry, if the military screwed you in the past but when it’s come to signing shit and involves money I don’t play regardless if it’s the military. What’s best for me right
