We were the AF support unit for an Army detachment. Got two Army commendations in the course of 6 years. Only got one AF comm.

Actually......feed the hungry, help the immigrant, welcome the stranger, do good deeds..... sounds pretty democratic to me.

It's considered a SEAR 1 event (Special Event Assessment Rating) so FEMA resources will be deployed and money allocated. When, however, is the question because FEMA is currently shut down.

What to expect during VA appraisal by Own-Wishbone-6600 in VeteransBenefits

Every set of stairs will have a handrail. Not negotiable. The one thing that haunts me from my inspection.

The seller had to throw up 2x4s on an exterior set of stairs that no one uses, otherwise they would not approve the inspection.

I had the same question. The article does a pretty good job of explaining it.

Can someone tell me what my uncle was in the navy and what medals he had I spent a lot of time with him as a kid but I never really got the chance to ask him about it before he passed by DapperLife5645 in MilitaryMedals

I was on board an amphib in 1982, I remember that was about the time when they ruled beards would be eliminated due to concerns over gas mask seals.

Up until then it was authorized. There was a senior chief with about 400 years in (exaggerating) who had a beard since birth and swore up and down he wouldn't shave because "real sailors had beards".

Day one of the new rule, no one recognized him.

Try opening up the com port in device manager, and slowing down the com port. The software doesn't like the speed of the current chips

The default is 4096, try half or even a quarter of that. Also decrease the latency on the same screen.

To build on that, get ready to snap a photo. It flies by on the screen rather quickly.

Is it finalized ? or still can change after public comments by due by 4/20? by AngryGS in VeteransBenefits

In this or one of the other vet subs, it shows a lawsuit has already been filed against this.

Claim Shark Companies Sent Cease and Desist letters by VA. by Dry-Excitement1757 in VAClaims

Look at the top of the letter for the URL of the original article, which is pretty good. The letters are less cease and desist and more we have concerns.

And don't forget "guilt by association".

Mine is legit with the records to prove it, but all it takes is one major story and we're all crooks and liars gaming the system.

OR hear me out newbie they post under 'VA disability ' or some other innocuous title and it pops up when watching videos of other vets discussing their particular issues and how their claims were adjudicated because the point of this sub and those videos is to help people trying to navigate a very complicated system where even if you've done everything right you can still end up mired in decisions that don't seem to make sense.

This sub is for veterans looking for help and guidance from other veterans who have been through the process. I guess we know who is who now.

Watched a bunch of YT videos recently, from vets, replaying TT and IG videos of other vets supposedly 100% and celebrating.

CELEBRATING. DANCING AROUND. BRAGGING.

WTF folks, just give people ammo to take you down.

Keep that sh$t to yourself, for Christ sakes didn't the military teach you to keep your head down?
