Like everything VA it’s a crapshoot. Get a veteran’s advocate to help you (AmVets, DAV, etc). They are usually older vets who have taken a special interest in gaming the system. I generally shy away from these types but in this instance they can really help you navigate the labyrinthine VA system.

Yep and try the state VA navigators. Smaller group of people who are funded by state dollars, but they do an incredible job. Just hard to find the representative for your area because its a well hidden secret

I’ve done dry January and a lot of weight melted off. I was already shooting to keep it going through to March.

Zillow PM. Your price and feature filter on your mobile app is broken. Even when it works, the load times are long. Worked great last week so must be a recent code fix gone wrong.

Read a quote that messed me up today after a week of on-site client and all hands work; “better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

It’s a mixture of existentialism and identity crisis juggled almost weekly. It hasn’t stopped since I left 7 years ago, though it pops up less; shows when I’m telling some CFO how much money he has to spend.

Just dropping this to say that you’ve got this, and you’re better as a warrior at peace than someone whose never known a fight. RLTW
