Veterans Affairs and Issues

Most discharges can be upgraded depending on the veterans conducts.99% of the time when a veteran gets a General Under Honorable its considered good enough for the the revue board.That veteran is Entitle to all benifits!The Marines being discharged with less then Honorable will run into a stone wall due to the fact that that branch does frownes on upgrading any discharges!They feel they deserved what the got!

The Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) reviews applications from Sailors and Marines seeking upgrades to their characterization of service and/or change to their narrative reason for separation. Regardless of characterization recieved, the applicant must prove inequity or impropriety in their separation process. Upgrades are fairly rare because very few applicant's present clear issues to show impropriety or inequity.

Your representative or congressman might be able to help. We used this resource to get my father's Purple Heart and Bronze Star 50 years after he was wounded in France. An imortant document called the DD-214 is issued to each serviceman upon discharge. Search for it and preserve it. Your nearest VFW post is an excellent place to start a search for assistance.

when did the first veterans hospital open and under what President

No, because too many of them have been awarded. Nearly a million were awarded in World War II, over 136,000 in Korea, over 200,000 in Vietnam, nearly 600 in Desert Storm, 2700 in Afghanistan and almost 34,000 in Iraq. Over 1.3 million medals total.

If you'd like to know what dropping The Bomb did, consider that the US government, in planning for casualties in the event of an invasion of Japan, ordered 500,000 Purple Hearts struck. On the day the United States commenced hostilities in Iraq, we held 120,000 of these 58-year-old medals in stock. Every unit that goes downrange in Iraq or Afghanistan takes a box of Purple Hearts with it for issue to wounded troops.

The USAF does have a reserve

There are many different types of veterinarians, each with their own unique working conditions. However, in general, small animal veterinarians in private practice (the vet who looks at cats and dogs) work primarily inside a clinic. They usually work a regular day shift but may have to work overnight and emergency hours as well. Large animal veterinarians in private practice (vets who look at horses, cows, pigs, other farm animals) typically work at the farms or stables where the animals live. They are often exposed to the weather (hot, cold, rainy, windy, etc.) and generally cover day hours and overnight and weekend emergency hours. Research veterinarians work in labs taking care of the lab animals; they generally work normal day hours but are on call overnight and weekends in case of emergency. Public health veterinarians (also called federal veterinarians) work for the federal government in one of about 15 different agencies covering everything from food safety (USDA FSIS) to animal drug reactions (FDA CVM) to monitoring the importation of live animals or animal products (USDA APHIS). They work a regularly scheduled shift, sometimes with overtime, but rarely have overnight or emergency hours and are usually working in a building somewhere. Military veterinarians work the same shifts under the same conditions as active duty military - usually a regularly scheduled day shift with some emergency duties and active duty deployments overseas.

It is sold in one of their resale stores or given outright to a vet, usually it is sold and the money used to help down on their luck vets.

You don't need to serve in first world war, second world war civil world war then international war government used to soldiers more experience then thsese as it is war namely as above you could claim any veteran's entitlement benefits

No.

From the website:

Section 301 of Public Law 109-461 adds a new category to the definition of "eligible person" for DEA benefits . The new category includes the spouse or child of a person who: * VA determines has a service-connected permanent and total disability; and * at the time of VA's determination is a member of the Armed Forces who is hospitalized or receiving outpatient medical care, services, or treatment; and * is likely to be discharged or released from service for this service-connected disability. Persons eligible under this new provision may be eligible for DEA benefits effective December 23, 2006, the effective date of the law. For more information contact your local VA office.

To gain the Veteran status you must have played 2 or more games in the Battlefield series. Check the Battlefield Bad Company site for more detail.

Almost always, you can not change your discharge from the US military from "other than honorable" to "honorable". On very rare occasions, you MIGHT be able to do this, however, you would have to prove that the discharge was incorrectly listed on your DD214.

Veterans of military service.

yes if it is a honerable admin sep u will still recieve ur gi bill depending on how long u served at 24 months u are eligble for 80 percent of the gi bill anything dishonerable u will not recieve anything

People Search, Facebook, Myspace... there is no way to do it through the Department of Veterans' Affairs, unless you have good reason (law enforcement, government agencies, etc).

No, the GI Bill is crap. They tease you with all these promises of money for college, but you have to jump through hoops to get it.

Oh yes! I have personally overseen the acquisition of several scholarships to both men and women of all ethnic groups who were over 50 year old. Scholarships like these are typically found under search terms like non-traditional, professional returning or adult returning. There are also numrous scholarships out there for individuals regardless of age within particular fields of study, so don't count anything out! Do your research and comb through the opportunities that might interest you. Most importantly don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it, there are several sources for guidance and help when it comes to funding higher education.

If you have an RE-4 reentry code on your DD-214, your most likely answer is going to be no (the one exception being an RE-4C for failure to meet citizenship requirements for continued service, as the military has since done away with the eight year service limitation for foreign citizens). However, it's not completely unheard of.. there are unique cases in which it was possible.

Only an actual recruiter is going to be able to give you a definite answer.

Refused to leave, remaining on the Capitol steps until they were evicted by force

Most service members keep their military ID after they are discharged, especially as most take terminal leave before their ETS date, and are still in the military during this time. However, they have an expiration date. The only way you'll be able to keep a maintain a current DoD identification card is to either reenlist, join a reserve component, become a civilian employee of the DoD, or marry someone in the military, and get a dependent's ID.

I got a free purple heart licence plate from the DMV that has got me out of a few speeding tickets.

you have to file a NOD or notice of disagreement. When you received your statement of claim or SOC it should have had appeal information attached to the back of it. You file your appeal with the rating board that denied you and also with the regional office. Some organizations like AMVETS will assist and represent you in filing an appeal and winning your benefits, however, I have found them completely useless here in the midwest at least.

food stamps

Yes you can refuse a medal.

If they're still within their eight year Mandatory Service Obligation, yes.
