Remember DEROS?


Remember that magic moment when suddenly you only had 30 more wakeups? Think back 40 years. All of a sudden 6 actual said”Take him off Point. He’s too short.”  Recall how your buddies would bait you by asking just how short you were?

How about these?

I’m so short I have to climb up on my boots to tie them

…I had to put a rubber on my 16 ’cause I keep getting dirt in the barrel

… my pant don’t fit anymore

… I almost got stepped on 5 times yesterday

…I can’t see over the windshield on the Jeep anymore.

Well, fellow pilgrims, I looked on ebennies Friday night and there it was. My appeals are finally in front of the man for adjudication. It’s almost time for a massive infusion of $ back to 94 or shutdown corner. I’m the eternal optimist. When life deals you lemons, make lemonade. But do not stop there. Seek out the guy who got the potatoes and is making vodka with them.

When VA gets new evidence, they have to address it. Somehow they forgot to do this in 94 and my old claim is still technically open. The DRO said otherwise. That’s why I find myself in D.C. (pro se, of course.) You don’t think I’d trust this to a VSO, do you?
