Great news for all those with the cancer. Now, after the Senate has done their duty, the  Govt. empties out the bag and fesses up. It would be nice to see this out of the House promptly and on the President’s desk for a signature pronto.

I certainly hope they don’t intend to hand it off to the vA to handle. That will give VASEC an excuse to delay claims way into the next decade. And of course, no one with the cancer will win because they will drag out the Maxson decision and declare it to be too far distant in the past and pure speculation. Marines with nothing in their records or worse, lost records, will be disenfranchised as usual. Be prepared for a magnificent Dog and Pony Show, the likes of which would put Barnum & Bailey’s to shame.

Best to start working on the evidence now. We know there will be damn few of you alive to collect when they finally agree to some ground rules and start shuffling the cards.

Coming soon to Jacksonville, N.C

P.S. I was wondering out loud on who the arbiter of the new Jamie Ensminger Act would  be and damned if it isn’t our good ol’ buddies down at the RO. Yep. 125 days/98% and Bingo- a Denial saying you were never there. Add 10 years to the claim resolution for the appeal. Rots a ruck Marines (and friends and neighbors in Jacksonville).
