Might need a couple of sub forums since Veterans and Retiree discussions and even disabled veterans can be very different since the priviledges are vastly different ... i.e. base and facilities access, medical and drug sources, etc. Even merchant discounts like Lowe's/HD I think need an ID (not sure if a DD214 would be accepted or a Veteran's ID). However some are the same like the Verizon wireless discount which is Veteran based. Another is the whole issue of VA medical and the Veteran's ID which I know anything about and don't really care personally. Of course then throw in the DOD civilian end like for use of FamKamps, etc. and things really get diverse and unique. Larry

Drafted, got sent to Nam, got out. The army is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

I always say that I got drafted and did not have enough sense to get out. I think the drill sergeant (SFC Walls) damaged my brain lol.

Retired Air Force 20 years and almost 20 years out. Have to admit we miss the life. DW was Air Force Reserve in our early years. Actually met her in the recruiters office. Wanted me to keep an eye on her for the MEPS Station was in another town.. Being a young and dumb recruit I strictly obeyed (gladly) for more than 39 years. Thanks to all who serve and the family members.
