Great news! How many sponsors are needed to see it move forward?

Great read. Shared on my social media pages. It's about time that we start seeing some articles written about this.

Thankyou for the reply. i was med retired 2 years ago with 75% DOD/100% P&T VA/ 90% CRSC. If MRSA is passed, my understanding is that my offset between VA and DOD would go away and I would receive both VA and my full (75%) DOD. I am not sure if my CRSC will remain, but ill gladly trade that for...

Thanks Ron for the prompt reply. I am still AD with my official retirement date on 30 July 2020. I have received my final ratings decision from both DOD and VA. I was told by my Peblo that I cannot apply for CRSC until after my EAS date. Can you confirm? Also, does DFAS automatically start...
