Here is another plug for all of you brothers and sisters who are attempting to get compensation from the military. My thought is NEVER GIVE UP!

The military seems to automatically turn you down the first time you apply. Keep trying and keep going back to push farther.

I know of a guy that never gave up. He was turned down many times, and he persevered. He earned full compensation.
