The younger ones getting out of the military now ARE filing more claims. I enlisted the first time in the early 70's. We didn't have the support system in place like the young troops do now. I don't mean to sound sarsacastic but its like they take 'em by the hand and lead through the process.

Yes, in 1972 the Army just took me to the gate and dumped me with my suitcase. I had to pay for the cab to the airport. I got no ETS physical, no copies of records, nothing. The way I got my first disability rating was by being admitted to the VA hospital within one year of ETS. Somebody filed on my behalf. I don't even remember filing a claim.
