That's what I get?

Awesomeness... After 18 years in the ARMY and about a year and a half wait, I have recieved my percentages from VA and the ARMY for my PM. I get 10% and severence pay. They won't let me stay for 20 years and robbing me of my 20 year retirement. Anyone hiring, looks like I need a job before December.

Yes there is, but looking at 2 more months with no guarantee that it will change. I am more upset over pushing me out after 18 years with no real retirement than the actual percentage.

Very sorry to hear that. Thank you for your service.

Go and meet with your Congressman or Senator, that's what they are there for (I'm sure you know that) but they are often underutilized.

Good luck,

Grateful Heart and Angry Sparrow are right on target. You are discouraged and understandably so, but things can turn around if you communicate to the right people. Good luck and thank you for your service.

I am glad I have you as FRIENDS

Hey Dan -- What a bummer event! Your profile suggests you are a Texas resident. I think a good move for you would be to contact: 1./TX senator Cornyn and 2./ TX Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson ---- both are pro-veteran, esp. Patterson. Good Luck!!
