Navigating Regional Offices

The more Third World a country gets, the more the government insulates itself from the People.

The security is the same at all RO's. It is directed by the Federal Protective Service.

Just think for a moment - if you were a RO employee you would want the same to insure you were safe within the work environment. This is based upon their job of having to give out entitlements. As we all know about 75-80 percent of the vet population is not pleased with the service they provide and you have to admit - there are some pretty damn pissed off and dangerous vets among us. They, the RO employees, are the only organization/group of employees that has to deal directly with a group of people that is trained to mame, kill and destroy its target.

Therefore, each time you have personal contact with the Ro you are met with much needed security procedures. jmho

Why didn't we have all this gun toting VA Police with high speed police cruisers, and tazzers, and metal detecting equipment before, at the height of the Crazy Vietnam Vet era??? A lot of this stuff is new. The war on terror has paralyzed the country. This is an example of the times we live in. Fear rules our new century... This is the "Century of the Chicken Littles". ...sad...

About a month ago there was a big article on the Houston Regional Office, and it tore them a new one. It basically said they were the worse in the country. I have given it some thought about submitting a suggestion to rename the VA from Veterans Administration to Variable Answers :D .

Mall cops will get the good stuff here pretty soon too.
