    Question: Alaska People ?

    When are you planning on going? Is it the Inside Passage cruise by chance? I think all of those places should be fun and interesting. I would definitely say see Mendenhall Glacier when you are in Juneau and do the infotainment presentations the cruises offer they are very educational and neat if...

    Thanks! I made friends with my case coordinator and the MDs I saw. Only one was standoff-ish and it doesn't matter it's about hearing loss and that's been validated numerous times by dozens of professionals haha. I will let you know if I have any questions after I get my percentages since all my...

    I would keep an eye on EBenefits although it is known to be off. Also if you have any consumables like hearing aid batteries or prosthetic socks you can order them on there as well.

    Yup that's what I'm looking for too. But I have a few more issues and some of them should have a rating but we will see...good to see you back. Where did you guys deploy?

    Didn't realize you were out already. Man time flies. That's a good attitude to have. I figure if I get anything it's not something I'm counting on or depending on so it'll just be a nice bonus. I will let you know what they say about my knees.

    Yes. Glad to show someone the burn pit info I think it's hugely important to know about. Too often our veterans are left out in the cold on things. Which is the struggle I have faced so far. All of these "vet friendly" employers are not as forthcoming as they advertise. All of the "sure thing"...

    Oh okay. Yeah mine is at the San Diego VA Regional Office...they have been really good and communicating and getting my appointments ASAP. So I really have no complaints we'll just see how they rate me and how long it takes.

    That's not bad. I don't know what to believe but it sure will be nice when it's all said and done.

    Thank you and thank you for your sacrifices. My service wasn't near as rough as others but it wasn't easy.

    Wow. That's pretty crazy man. I'm not too concerned as my stuff was fairly cut and dry and my suspense date is now July-Dec 2014. Which fits the year from filing and supposedly the BDD speeds it up. Thanks Tim. I may have some questions about my stuff...any free pointers? :D Also for...

    Wow that's crazy! I guess I won't trust their estimated completion date then. Mine isn't anything too complicated but with the CA I'm sure they will make it complicated :rofl:

    Any of our vets done one? How long was the process? I did a BDD in December and today it moved to Prep for Decision so that's good. Any insight on how long yours took?

    No...should I call them back? I applied and emailed them back but didn't want to be a pain.

    Right on. I still haven't heard back from Patterson but heard they are slow in the HR department. Is there an appropriate amount of time to wait before asking for an update? I did the interview and got the conditional offer about 5 weeks ago and took the drug test almost 3 weeks ago.
