Giving credit where credit is due ( and feeling like a one-legged man in an ass -kicking contest), I rely on all of you for the tasty treats about vA that turn up here. Thank goodness it’s being typed out on a vA ILP-supplied computer and keyboard. Anything less would be unacceptable. Thus, due to the sleuthing of WGM, we get to read all about what appears to be a major new hole below the waterline in the already dead-in-the-water USS. Dept. of veterans Affairs.

Unfortunately at presstime three months after the revelation, we’re still unable to get a number to hang on all this “training” from Undersecretary for VA  Training Benefits Allison Hickey. Apparently the numbers are too large to remember off the top of her pretty little head. Apparently Uncle Eric is equally stumped but they’re working on it. We were told we should hear something the day after the election on November 6th but to check back if we don’t hear anything sooner. Same-same for the BVA decisions website snafu, GI.

Oh yeah. As for the “Thank You For Your Service”bumperstickers we’ve been handing out at the Vets’ Jobs Fairs? We honestly didn’t know they were printed in China. Our supplier assured us they were coming from a union shop in Korea, South Carolina. We’re looking into that one, too. Relax.
