Finally Submitted It All....i Think.

well, at least i got to see the veterans assistance office without a wait. dude tried to hose me. sd i didnt have a claim. when i pointed out to him i certainly did have more than half a chance since it was clearly documented in smr's, he changed his tone. but still tried to discourage me. tried to hand my file back to me and sd go to the american legion. conversation went like this:

me - "u know, they have folks at VARO much better paid and educated to make decisions on whether or not i have a claim. that is a decision way over ur paygrade, chief. so, why dont u stay within ur paygrade, point me in the direction i need to go and let me finish up since i have less than 2 wks to get ppwk in. i believe it is ur job to ASSIST me in filing this ppwk and that would be the reason i was sent here."

him - "yes ma'am. i can take care of that for u."

i finished the meeting with him by asking if i could follow up with IRIS on my status. he had no clue what it was....oh well, at least i have u guys! and im so grateful for that, too. miffed me that he tried to schluff his duties. fu)#er!

I think I may be missing something, but why did you need the signature of a Veterans Service Officer?

i was pegged for a pilot program and it required their signature....i asked for my claim to be expedited and the program is called expedited claims ajudication program (ECA)
