HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted April 7, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 7, 2008 For a short time it seems to be raining Retro to some of us. Great Job. A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted April 7, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 7, 2008 Congrats Jim! As far as the boat goes....I agree with we that a emergency fund is the most important thing first. But a boat ranks right up there. Look for a boat near the end of the summer, especially if it is as dry this year as it was last year. The price of gas is severely hurting boat prices, too. I picked up my boat last year, at the height of the drought, for $7,000...it is listed in Kelley Blue Book for $15,000. The deals are out there. 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Josephine Posted May 28, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 28, 2008 emorock, I was rated at the R.O April 12, 2008 and received my retro check May 16, 2008 and this was for 16 years retro. I did sign up for automatic deposit and my first monthly check will be at my bank this Friday the 30th. I filled out the dependent papers for my husband to receive 11 years of retro and the service manager sent me an email he would start processing it and have a letter to me shortly. Not long at all, Always, Betty Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
