Question
Seadog
Hi all!
Been browsing the site for some time, and finally joined today.
I have scoured all the posts looking for answers pertaining to my question, and didn't find what I was looking for. If I have overlooked something, please be gentle with me.
I received my CAR on Sept. 1972 in Nam. My DD214 has it, but no VSM (received it on ship). I have sent for a 215 a week ago. Anyhow, the VA denied my SC saying I was Vietnam Era.
Have prostate cancer, a tumor in my right femur (they have been trying to get a biopsie, but the prostate surgery keeps pushing it back), and a few others that are on the presumptive list.
I filed a NOD with my VSO, and he stated I didn't have much of a chance. But in my way of thinking, a CAR is the same as being in country. Got combat pay and all, but no boots on ground.
Would like other member opinions on what I can do, if anything. Am I in the Haas debacle for the duration?
