Are you stuck in the system also?

RaginRanger will respond to any comment--on any post--asking for help on your situation.
This blog "moderates" posts, meaning that your post will NOT be posted publicly if you request that your question remain private.

I am not a lawyer, but I have been in this fight long enough to at least point you to help in most cases. I'll help write a Memorandum For Record and/or the Commander if needed. Sometimes just getting a new perspective from someone who's been there, but doesn't have personal ties to
you, can make things more clear.

The most important thing is for those of us who have made it through, to be here for those still fighting through ~

Guide to my helpful links

The Links below will open in a new window.
To open Links on the SideBar in a new window hold "CTRL" as you [click].

Lots of acronyms in the Helpful Links section on my sidebar.
What do they all mean?
VOTE VETS -- This is an organization committed to Veterans Issues - whatever they may be.
VA -- Dept of Veteran's Affairs. Major gov't bureaucracy that has many benefits available to veterans. For every benefit they provide there always seems to be 10 reasons why *you* won't qualify for it.
DAV -- Disabled American Veterans. One of many Veterans Advocacy groups that helps cut through the 10 reasons VA wants to block benefits. This group is very helpful on the Active Duty side for Service Members going through the MEB process.
VFW -- Veterans of Foreign Wars. Another Veteran's Advocacy group with similar goals to DAV
IAVA -- Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. A group fighting to help make changes in the military now, also deals with military medical issues and VA as well
Vet Pac -- Group of Vietnam Vets that don't want to see another generation of Vets suffer from ANY mistreatment by ANY entity after leaving the service.
Web MD -- This is a great resource to help patients be more proactive in their own care. It can help patients understand medical jargon more clearly. This site sometimes has more up-to-date information than the information provided with prescriptions of some medications.
U.S. Code Title 10 -- This is the "LAW OF THE LAND." Laws are often cited in official military documents, this is where much of it comes from. Just a great reference.
FirstGov.gov -- This site offers a guide to many government programs. Sure the gov't put it together to try to explain itself, but it can be helpful.
