RuskiLinguist Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 So sorry for the delayed post. Well, it meets all of my criteria for being official. The letter showed up last Tuesday, and the $$$ on Wednesday. I have been looking into the PX/Commissary and MWR benefits. They are amazing if a person takes advantage of the opportunity. I realize most of you already know about it, but I have read some posts that debate the value of these benefits, and I have to side with the side that goes WOW when I see the possibilities. My SSDI application is still pending, but this VA chapter is closed. I have to decide if I should push for permanent, but as far as I am concerned, the VA has impressed me significantly, this time. I last applied for benefits in 1998 when I got out of the army, this VA is completely different than the one I experienced back then. It almost made me wanna see PR's hapy dance too Have ya posted that youtube video yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
