Hi everyone,

This message might be a bit cryptic for those who are not US military veterans
so here's a short translation: I am now receiving a small disability pension
every month for injuries I sustained in my service.

For the veterans who understand the VA system:
I received my official claim award letter today.  I'm rated at 10% for my
tinnitus which was automatic because of my field artillery MOS and rated at 0%
for my hearing loss.  So if my hearing gets worse, I can appeal and possibly get
an award.  I'm working on claims for my flat feet and shin splints.  My VSO is
encouraging me to nickle and dime my way up to 50% so if I can go to VocRehab
and get declared unemployable, that could bump me up to 100% total permanent.

10% is not much money but it makes a big difference for me and that's all that
matters now.  It's going to definitely help to get my truck running.
