Blue Water Ao Vets
The VA recently posted the proposed change to M21-1 below- Ray B. Davis's comments seem to be a good take on these regs- I posted this info at the Blue Water Navy site yesterday and havent had time yet to get their thoughts- it IS ironic-with Haas still in the court system that Mansfield came up with this idea--- part of the Haas CAVC case involves receipt of the VSM- any thoughts and anyone willing to comment on this reg? You all might recal former Sec Nicholson's AO BWV moratorium did NOT comply with the law and the change in 2002 was -as Ray says-Illegal- and now they are coming up with this ???? ------------------ from Ray B.

What Does Ets Stand For In The Army?
1. Can someone tell me what ETS stands for? I know it's when you get out of service but what are the actual words that start with E, T, and S? I am trying to help my shrink w/ his IMO and I remember most of the other acronyms but not ETS. 2. Just to double check, I said that EER stands for Enlisted Efficiency Report. If anyone can confirm that I would appreciate it. Seems like the older I get the more swiss cheese my brain becomes. Thanks for the help, TS Snave
