    USERRA

    I am submitting this hoping that all involved in this forum understand that, in the end, YOU ARE your own genuine advocate. Our military is not composed of victims, and those attempting to victimize them will always be held accountable. We are a just nation, we are a just military. The link...

    Veteran employment idea

    welly welly well....it seems Sheriff Joe (Maricopa County AZ) beat everyone to the punch. His "possee" is pullin security detail at schools. Then again, no-one with their political wherewithall would ever follow the lead of Sheriff Joe, why I even heard he is the nations persona non grata.

    Veteran employment idea

    I don't usually post things like this, but I thought I would post this as it is a very interesting and plausible proposal. It came from an ex cop and Army Vet buddy who is trying to develop this idea to present to legislators and whoever else an idea like this would go before. I am all for it...

    instrumentality of war?

    Gentlemen, Again, I can only offer my experience: I was approved 40% CRSC for a single body part which was injured in Iraq, IW. After that injury I continued my service in the N. Guard. A few years later I AGGRAVATED that IW injury, 2 mile run APFT. This aggravation led to my MEB/PEB and...

    WOOing the veterans

    COMMO, WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you sure that was The Army Times and not The Onion? And for me, I am uncertain of where the majority of the ABSOLUTE ABSURDITY in this article rests. IS IT: A. The need for AMERICAN politicians to be trained in fundemental military protocal? OR IS IT B...

    Severance Pay recoupment information. Must Read!!

    The CRSC board will not begin the process until YOU send in the actual retirement orders. I submitted my application after I was notified by the PDBR, but before I had orders, I jumped the gun.

    Severance Pay recoupment information. Must Read!!

    And as pittpan2005 stated, you will only qualify for CRSC if you have been retired.

    Severance Pay recoupment information. Must Read!!

    Jsccer78, I was rated (CRSC and VA) for injuries sustained in Iraq (30% for a leg and 10% for the scars). The factors that would contribute to your approval of CRSC would obviously be the injury and how it happened. You state a fall during basic. The HOW and WHAT are most important when a CRSC...

    Severance Pay recoupment information. Must Read!!

    I can only offer my experience with severance, PDBR, VA, DFAS, and CRSC. I was 20% severance, Army, 2009, combat injuries. So the rules under NDAA 2008 were in full effect...no deductions made due to the combat criteria. I did get full severance without deductions. I was retired by the PDBR with...

    CRSC and VA Combined Disability Ratings

    I am assisting a Vet with his CRSC application and have stumbled onto a question I cannot answer. This Vet has 3 service connected disabilities (all combat related) rated by the VA at 30%,10%, and 10%. The Vet is rated by VA with a combined disability rating of 44.55% (estimate), he is getting...

    CRSC Question

    In your situation I say Instrumentality of War fits best. One could easily replace the object "broomstick for pugil stick" comparison with the object CONEX. If that makes any sense.

    CRSC Question

    Slorcoe, Language of the LOD would probably assist you to hit the ten ring on your CRSC classification. For instance the CONEX itself could be determined an Instrumentality of War. Pay attention to the section that states "vehicles". INSTRUMENTALITY OF WAR (IN) - The disability was incurred in...

    DFAS INDIANAPOLIS AND THE PDBR AND SEVERANCE PAY A DEAD END

    gelnhausen and crazy, I was placed on PDRL via PDBR in OCT2011 (Army). I did not get any DFAS action (pay) until Feb2012. I got a bit of retro retirement pocket change due to receipt of VA comp. My original MEB/PEB Severance action occured in 2009, so I fell under the NDAA 2008 criteria; I did...

    UAV count as combat ?

    bunt0025, Your question was regarding CRSC. The only opinion that really matters is that of the CRSC folks. Simply apply!

    After The PDBR

    My opinion. Severance pay forgiveness/recoupment deletion should have been SOP for all sucessful PDBR retirees. One could make a simple guess that it would have actually SAVED the GOV money; consider how much the GOV is spending in time and effort crunching the numbers for these retirees. I...

    After The PDBR

    Ed Mercanti, Your statement that fiction was created is indeed an interesting and marked point. All sucessful PDBR applicants suffered 15-18 months while their cases were deliberated. We sent our documentation to the board, and held our collective breaths. We were almost blinded by...
