Re: Access to VA Med Records

Are you looking to fly for the Army? Commissioning through ROTC or going Warrant? Not sure what to tell you theses days, but everything's in MEDPROS, and digitized. Will the Army hold those if you come back in? Will they pull your VA records? Don't know. What I do know is, you'll need to pass a Cla...

I finally signed up for my VA OIF/OEF healthcare so I can avoid the Obamacare madness, and more than likely after school I'll be looki...

This was the first thing my first TL in Battalion said to me when I showed up. It was quickly followed by "And if you say 'to be the best' I'm going to fucking kill you." I suggest you have a good answer.
