I was recalled to active duty four years ago, I was rated 70% by the VA, and the military knew that up front. So far so good, I feel the military is where I fit in the best, I would just about call it a "protected work enviorment". The regimen and structure keeps me going, and I am having a blast leading the youngsters. I find it very rewarding helping them mature and develop them into strong team players. My VA pay was automaticall stopped by DFAS when I started recieving military pay, but the part I am wondering about is my VA compensation has been suspended, but are my ratings still in play? will they become protected based upon the date I first recieved them? the date I retire? or adjusted to the lenght of time in receipt of compensation?.... john c

Hey 'Wings are you hangin out here? Lightening took out my PC motherboard, and then a virus claimed my laptop. I've been so busy at work that it took me a couple weeks to reformat/reload my system. Anyway the DRB reading rooms are back up and running now, thought that might intrest you. I am finally done with my stuff. I had to open a new appeal, but it was approved. I got 84 days of leave restored, and a reenlistment bonus that I missed out on. I am glad to have it all done and over with. Just under 7 years to straighten out this mess. john c
