1ºI have a Honorable Discharge and the VA will not give me any medical help. True Story. I reenlisted...and they use the fact that I reenlisted to deny me. I also served in the US army and they refused to accept my army years, the Navy did and thats where I got my Honorable Discharge from....but the Military has no track on my Honorable Discharge ...they claim....even though....I have it online for the World to see....I am a black Veteran who suffered from Alcoholism and was never sent to get help after I turned myself in, until I crashed into the Main Gate at the base...they flew me to a Recovery center....then upon returning from that...I was put to work stocking Alcohol in the Commissary.......well....I was never helped and I served honorably....help me somebody...get the VA I earned in both the US army and the US navy......
