 No, no. It's interesting. Because I've never experienced that, even in HS when I was running cross country, wrestling, and doing various track and field stuff. Never, ever when I was in the army, even early when I was the fittest I've ever been before I got seriously injured. Maybe my brain just isn't wired that way. There's no friggin reward for the effort.  
 I’m not going to delve too deeply by asking you any personal questions but I’m just gonna say that there’s certain types of torture and pain that people like that put themselves through. I was also country winner. I didn’t wrestler though I did a wrestling star but anyway that’s a moot point And then you got injured how I’m so sorry for your injury so you’re like I am. You’re a veteran that got hurt when you were in the army I’m so sorry to hear that and you’re right there is no freaking reward for effort for veterans like us like it hurts Except for maybe coming to Nostur and finding one another again so we can communicate so seriously I am a retired veteran. I know I’m a female and I know I’m weird and shit but like message me anytime you need to talk or if you need a friend or something you know I probably won’t respond immediately but I will eventually respond I promise. 
 Thank you. 

Sincerely. Thank you. ❤️ 🫂❤️🫂

I didn't get jack for anything when I finally GTFO (I was stop-lossed and there was no effing way I was going to reup after that BS) but... I recently talked to another veteran who went through the process of getting his rating reevaluated. It went well for him. I just don't know if I want to bother with the VA again. 😠

Anyway... There are a bunch of veterans here. I like some more than others, but... We're all brothers and sisters in arms. It's good to help each other. 

If you ever need to talk, I will be available for you or any other veteran.  
 You’re welcome. From talking with others I believe they may just immediately deny them all because of back-logs but I have no proof. 

Please resubmit. Most VFWs have people that will assist. 

It’s sorry how they treat us after they use us. Stay strong 💪 Happy we connected. I can be serious 🧐 but it’s rare 🤣🫂 
 It really seems to come down to what region I'm moving soonish and where I am moving the VA seems to be a lot better than what I'm used to. I half expect this to not be the case... But, screw it. It might just be worth it.  
 I have several coworkers who got reassessed by the VA recently and ended up with a higher %, one after another. It even sounds like it wasn't that terrible to deal with, though that's second hand. Do with it what you will.  
 There's a lot that goes into that. The region they are in, the way the wind blows, what phase the moon is in, etc. 

But thank you.  
 You got this … we got this … 🫂🙏
