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

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.

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

US Air Force retired here. Agree it would be nice to have even a sub forum about veterans or retired military affairs.

I'm a son of a career Navy aviator, carriers in the Pacific, he retired (early 60's) as a Commander.

Four fractures in my leg as a Freshman in college, kept the Air Force (or any other service) from accepting me.

I'm also the parent of a Combat Engineer, he is in a mechanized unit, part of 1st Cav Division at Ft. Hood.

I'm humbled and grateful for all who serve. Thank you.
