Applied for my Reserve GI Bill & was denied because I didn’t qualify for the extension after exiting the military. They said I didn’t qualify because I wasn’t actually a veteran and because my contract was a 6x2 and it had to be completed _before_ I entered the IRR. I kindly asked them to look again at the paperwork submitted showing a: 3 separate DD214’s, & b: that I extended my IRR time into regular reserve, meaning I was absolutely a veteran and never entered the IRR.

Oh, I see that now. Sorry, we still don’t think you qualify.

Roger that! Let me call Senator Tom Coburn…
3 days later Coburn’s aide enamel to expect an apology from the VA….

The court system is the same way.

Give that lawyer 20k or we will throw you in jail.

My favorite is when you are required to fax it in.

Me: No, really, I'll drive the 75 miles to deliver it to your office.

Red-tape Office: That wouldn't do you any good. We wouldn't be able to accept it. You have to fax the paperwork to us.

I wish I could make this up.

29 year career and I still get told no - apparently, the only way to get anything done is to pay benefit specialists to do it - unbelievable.

It's called Red Tape Budgeting. The Harder you make it to use the fund the more likely you'll come in underbudget enough to get that Bonus.

The answer to all military computers: get rid of fucking active directory

Thank you for doing this video. I was freaking out about people suddenly caring what computer I am using on the innovation side. Hey, did you know that literally most of your worst grievances exist in literally ALL the areas which government manages? O_O... This just dawned on me. Microsoft was the worst choice. There should be push back to that. You all need to ask them to have applications which work on ALL the platforms. ALL of them. It's 2024. The end. I know, I know, apple is also kinda sucky, but that's why we want ALL the platforms. So we can *encourage* them to be better. :) Feel free to email them your complaints, ideally en masse. >:)

I'm starting to wonder if State Farm runs the VA, or visa versa.

[andrabook]

you need to make them make a flow chart. This is SO disorganized. I can't believe anything functions...oh, wait....it kinda doesn't, does it?

[AugustDavinDeepson]

They end up telling me or hinting at me anyway. I love my civilians and military lovers ❤❤❤

As long as I actually talk to them and not be a robot (give me this and that)

I'm CAF... US mil is light-years ahead of our shit...atrocious

This is why I gave up trying to get benefits when I got discharged from boot camp for scoliosis. On my last day before I left for school. Did liberty weekend & everything.
