I am a disabled vet.
The actual percentage is croggling, and the effects will be good, and (honestly) a bit life changing.
I am rated 80 percent disabled. I get a pension. If I read it right I also get PX privileges (I can go back onto the Presidio of Monterey again).
I don't know if it gets me schooling (I think I might be able to get some rehab money). I don't know what it gets me by way of tuition breaks in Calif.
I'll have to look into it.
It's a lot to digest.

From the perspective of a one-time platoon sergeant, and Company Gunnery Sergeant, and later a Commanding Officer, I'm really, really sorry that you suffered a disabling injury in the service of our country. It's a sad truth that the best troops are often the ones who take the brunt of the injuries. Thanks for being one of the best troops. Now I just hope our country does right by you.
