HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 25, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 25, 2009 http://www.military.com/news/article/va-cr...et-centers.html Outstanding. I am a supporter of the Vet Center model. Too many problems and suicides follow war. It has been two decades since I worked in a Vet Center. I don't know how well they work now. But when they were known as Vietnam Vet Centers, they were a good port in the storm, for many vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I go to a Vet Center now and it's a 100x better than the VA. They are also there to help victims of MST; something many vets don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator broncovet Posted September 1, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2009 The fact that a "Vet Center" is necessary is a good indication that the VA hospital is not meeting Veterans needs. If all this good counseling were available at the Va med center, why would Vet centers be needed? It just goes to show that Va medical centers are NOT meeting Veterans needs.

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 1, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 1, 2009 My problem with the vet centers is that if you are trying to win a claim they don't help. One C&P exam will cancell out two years at the Vet Center. The VA completely ignored my report from the local Vet Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Kelly Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 2001 in Seattle I was suicidal and crying at the Vet Center and they said since I wasn't a Vietnam vet I had to go to The Machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
