Got Out Of Hearing Couple Hours Ago

[hulamatt]

Called my NSO last week, to talk about my claim, he had someone else call me, was told i was given 30 mins before hearing to talk to him.... i get there at 10, hearings at 10:30, he is told by another nso thats there that im here, he comes from the back and calls another guy in...the lady is like Mr Trevino is here, he goes i know....So its about 10:16 and im about to say F this guy im going to the meeting alone, he finally comes out, goes the the bathroom....LMAO Comes back and calls me back, At this point im furious, but i dont want my claim to get messed up, and i dont need this guy pissed because im mad at him, I was told he read my c file a week ago, so im like were good to go

We get there, i pull out my papers, and basically state my case (Hearing is for determination on whether my discharge was honorable), The NSO starts basically asking for lienence which is good, but is not what i was trying to argue, then hes like he wasnt kicked out for drugs or alchol, or being awol.....and then im like yeah i was awol, and hes like how long and im like 200 days thats why i was put out....Made my case, stated i was insane, quoted med records, brought up the fact that it doesnt matter if this period in service is honorable or not i was DXed within a year of my last periord of service....although it would be good that they decide in my favor for this period of service, cause then i could get education benefits, for being put out of a disability(i hope) Saw my C file on the desk it was pretty big, especially since im only claiming one thing, guess ive sent in a lot more stuff than i thought

Anyways I would like to officialy complain about this NSO hes with the DAV Chicago, the lady who was basically telling him wtf are you doing hes here he has a meeting in 30 mins, seems like shes always on target, i bet she is a good nso id like to have her, either that or switch to american legion, cause this guy just man.....did not do his homework,

Hulamatt-nlike you- I believe the NSO did do a very GOOD JOB,

as he presented points that were pertinent to the Character of Discharge determination.

"The NSO starts basically asking for lienence which is good, but is not what i was trying to argue, then hes like he wasnt kicked out for drugs or alchol, or being awol.....and then im like yeah i was awol, and hes like how long and im like 200 days thats why i was put out....Made my case, stated i was insane, quoted med records, brought up the fact that it doesnt matter if this period in service is honorable or not i was DXed within a year of my last periord of service...."

It sure looks to me that this NSO did his homework here for you and knew exactly what a Character of Discharge Determination involves.

He might have helped you more than you realise.Just my opinion but I would have raised the exact same arguments he did if I was a NSO.
