No kiddin' Chris. This is the day to celebrate veterans and all they put out for us. One thing I would like to see is better or streamlined vet bennys, especially for wounded, and job orientation and maybe jobs too for folks coming home/retiring. I like the expressions I get from vets I thank on any day just real quick when I see them wearing their Vietnam hat or whatever crappy conflict they tried with their lives at times to help out with. My Dad is one.
Happy Veterans Day.

I've only used my benefits to further my education and secure my latest mortgage which both worked out very well for me. The bank I use for my mortgage is tremendous and every time I call respond with a "Good afternoon Petty Officer Tripp. How can we help you today?" They go above and beyond which is terrific.

USAA has been good for me. Glad you are being treated well. I think that is not the case for all vets, especially sad for wounded, and I like to remind people of that fact so we can make it 100% for those who served.
Thanks for service Chris. Navy right?

Come on, no ration for the stupid question???...what other branch has a Petty Officer?
Did you get hazed crossing the equator? Do they still do that or is it unPC now?

I actually never crossed the equator however I'm quite sure it still happens or at least did while I was in.
Coast Guard to answer your question...lol.
