Posted on October 9, 2012 by asknod

How many times are we told we do not have the medical expertise to opine on the etiology of where our disease came from or what particular risk was the culprit? Try this one on for size. Vet partied hearty … Continue reading →

WINNING IS ALSO ABOUT LEARNING HOW NOT TO LOSE

Posted on October 3, 2012 by asknod

I note with satisfaction that a new voice lends itself to the discussion. I welcome that. Nothing gets looked at better than when someone comes along and analyzes how you do it. Fortunately, after building houses for forty years, the … Continue reading →

Hi. This is Peggy. I’m not available right now. Please leave a number and the best time to reach you.

Posted on September 26, 2012 by joeaveragevet

This one may have gotten past most Vets advocates. You see, many of them simply do not trust the information received when you call the VA at 800-827-1000, commonly referred to as Peggy on some Vet’s help sites. We … Continue reading →

EARLY CHRISTMAS IN COLORADO

Posted on September 22, 2012 by asknod

Everybody likes to hear the success story. The one that didn’t get away is far more newsworthy than the one that did. So it was with great joy when I came in from gardening last night to find that our … Continue reading →

VA’s newest “homeless solution”: Smart Phone application?

Posted on June 12, 2012 by joeaveragevet

A few days ago, I pointed out that instead of paying out about 400 million in bonuses, the VA could instead award about 74,400 homeless Vets each a 40% disability rating. Instead of paying homeless Vets, they propose to give them … Continue reading →

Found– One Liver

Posted on May 30, 2012 by asknod

Member Chase’ wife emailed this morning and they have a liver donor. It’s always sad to hear this because it means someone passed. It’s also enervating in that it gives life to another when all hope has been lost. They … Continue reading →

Senator to VA: End the epidemic of Fraud

Posted on May 25, 2012 by joeaveragevet

I did not say it first. Senator Cornyn has echoed what Veterans have been saying all along: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Texas-Sen-Cornyn-tells-VA-to-end-epidemic-of-3584393.php One could ask: If the VA thinks its “ok” to steal from the most vulnerable disabled Veterans with mental issues, then what … Continue reading →

Footlocker Beginnings.

Posted on May 15, 2012 by asknod

Back in the beginning when I arrived in SEA, I saw the need for a weapon up country that actually worked as advertised. The .45 ACPs could do this but, as with all semi-autos, they became a casualty of red … Continue reading →

BVA–Energizer Bunny–Still Going

Posted on May 4, 2012 by asknod

From the cigarette RO in N.C. This decision caught my eye for a number of reasons. When I saw the two different Diagnostic Codes employed and the cutoff date of July 2001, I knew this Vet had been at it … Continue reading →

VA’s ability to fix problems needs improvement

Posted on April 30, 2012 by joeaveragevet

The VA’s method of fixing problems: Wait until the Veteran complains to his or her Senator. Only then, will anything be done about it. Veterans with “paperwork glitches” don’t have a good way to call someone up and say, “Gee, … Continue reading →
