I was still pretty optimistic when I taught your class back last year. It's almost gone, replaced by disdain for my follow LTs.

For what it’s worth, the one guy who managed to get me to take onboard fire drills seriously* back when I sailed had been chief mate on the Windoc and had pretty graphic descriptions of that night he shared every time the fire alarm went off. *The company culture was thoroughly broken and drills were an absolute waste of time, including one where we just sat in the mess and pretended to do poo poo because the weather was bad.

Anyone have any experience getting a discharge type upgraded through the VA or just know where to start with that? Coming up on six months since I got discharged and I wouldn’t mind getting my honorable.

I have not personally but I know that a client did have luck working with NVLSP to find someone. quote:National Veterans Legal Services Program - Lawyers Serving Warriors (LSW) Program Also I am sure you could have found this but the general info from the VA is also good to review if you fall into the specified categories: PTSD, MST, TBI, or DADT quote:How to Apply for a Discharge Upgrade

My understanding is that most veteran service organizations branches have people who handle these kind of requests. I'd call up some offices in larger cities close to you and ask around.

The other watch officer on my shift at the command I just demob'd from was a sub guy. And one of the funniest moments was explaining unreps to him and watching his eyes bug out of his head.

I need some help, I'm in the separation process and basically completely on my own. I've figured out enough on what I specifically need to do to make sure I get my 214. But... I need help know what specific actions I need to take in order to get the right benefits. What do I need to do to make sure I actually get benefits? I've been told I need to "apply for benefits" with the VA but I'm not clear on how to do that. Google says do it through the website but if I try to do it through the website... I'm pretty worried I'll gently caress myself because I don't. It's also all weird, asking what my unit was when I was a reservist on the VA's site, and I wasn't a reservist. Does my separation physical have anything to do with it? Will doing it there screw me? Where can I go for useful help on the VA stuff? Should I just do my best on the VA website right now? GI bill- Do I need to do anything pre-separation? Just want to avoid some kind of "lol you didn't fill out this form tough luck" thing. What other things do I need to do that I just don't even know enough to ask?

CALL THE VA. Call them. On the phone. Talk to a human. 107% of them are former service and have done this before. The customer service reps are almost hand-picked to be the kind of people that enjoy explaining bureaucratic labyrinths to active duty. Don't be afraid to call many times. You absolutely will not have all the information they need in the first call.

Vasudus has a write-up in the Veteran Resources thread on the GI Bill stuff. Nothing really to do before you get out. Make sure you get your login to Ebenefits situated, have your DD-214 in hand, and get your Certificate of Eligibility.

That’s the huge relief. The lovely taps PowerPoint I got made it seem like there was so much poo poo to do, and my command despite being huge seemingly doesn’t have much of a process or system for people who are retiring or separating.
