Dro Hearing

[Jim MAC]

Well I went with my ex boss to his DRO hearing. The hearing was set for 10 oclock but he had to meet with his VSO at 9 oclock. We meet with his VSO at about 915 we were running late due to the long drive. This man was from the VFW and was one of the most preperd VSO I had ever seen. He went over the case asked about 10 questions then called the DRO up to tell her I would be in the room. The DRO swore us both in then the VSO took over. He asked my friend a lot of questions asked me about 5 questions. The DRO was very calm laid back and very polite. The VSO got in the record about his 123 missions in Vietnam to include his 100 missions over North Vietnam in a F4. I was inpressed I have known this man for 5 years and did not know any of that. He had never spoken about it. When we got ready to leave the VSO stated for the record that he was retired from the VA after 25 years 20 as a rater and 5 as a DRO. He stated that my boss meet all of the requirments for a IU and it schould be granted. We both left there feeling good about the case. He stoped us in the hall and told us it looked real good. I will keep you all informned when not if but when he wins.
