  5. Tomcat...No...if you're considered combat wounded and disabled due to combat...you do not need 20 for a pension. How it works now is that even before you get out...the military can send your paperwork to the joint governing body that determines Disability. This body determines the percentage of disability for VA compensation but also if you're even considered disabled. IF they say yes...the particular service will determine how much you're disabled for that particular service. The VA can say one percentage and the service another. The VA will take all your claimed disabilities into consid
  6. At Ft Bragg the "Operators" who are having issues or injured, and as long as their Psyche profile is ok, go onto Instructor positions or other positions where they could be needed. Heck...they've had a blind SF officer, an operator with 2 prosthetic legs and others with varied injuries in such positions. So for the "Shooter" to leave the Navy...something else must have happened. Altho...some people do get fed up and leave. Not unknown to happen at all. I would love to know the entire story...I'm sure it's a better read than what Esquire" printed. I just wish the "Shooter" good luck in al
  7. I really think "Esquire" placed their own spin on the article...and you're right...why shun everyone else but only talk to Esquire. I'm not critical of the "Shooter"...yet. But I am critical of Esquire for what seems to be a one sided story. Being in the system...which pretty much works the same for all services when getting out now. It just sounds Hinky. I know after going after High Value Targets during my last tour...I had a very hard time integrating back into life as I still do. SO I'm sure the "Shooter" could be having major issues...to the point where he had to leave the service.
  8. OK...I have to chime in here. I'm a 31 year veteran of the Army who was Medically Retired due do injuries from Iraq. Now, even tho I'm 100% disabled with a VA pension and collect Social Security Disability I can with good authority tell you that there are major discrepencies to what is being written about this SEAL. First of all I applaud him for his time in the service as well as making to the SEAL teams. I know BUDS is no easy haul and neither is living the life of a SEAL. But here's the issues. Our young SEAL says he has back and vision problems. Well, I for one know that even with
  9. Hey Gang! We're 4 days into our drive for the "Warfighters Modeling Consortium" and we're up to $90.00! I want to thank everyone for helping with this. I can't tell you how much this means to our group as we buy the tools and supplies needed for start our builds. http://www.gofundme.com/Warfighter-Modelers Once Again...Thank You so Much! Mike
  10. Good Morning All! Please note that I have edited my post about the amount sold...I have already sold 4 of the models. But Also note that I've once again edited the cost amount for "each" model.,,I put the "The cost listed is for one of each model" up here in my post. Im sorry but it seems as there was a mistake made on both me and a buyer....so I felt raising the phrase to the second line down made it easier to see. I still believe the costs are fair and on par with what you find online and in some Brick and Mortar shops. I've also stated I will deal with the buyer on multiple sales and
  11. Stew, thank You and you're welcome! I want to applause your efforts with the Wounded Warriors on post! No one had that when I was in the Wounded Warrior Battalion for 2.5 years at Ft Bragg...I started my own but it fell by the wayside when I left. So I had to form a private organization here. I have the veterans ready to roll...but my private stockpile is only so big and my tools can only be shared too many times before it becomes frustrating for everyone. So that's why I took this public into GoFundMe. I think it's awesome that in 3 days we got $70.00. My group will be excited that
  12. LOL...I hear ya on the low stress...I really do. But ya know...it's the only thing that set me straight after my signs of PTSD started getting to me after combat! I finally retired medically after 31 years of service. More combat than I knew what to do with. More loss than I've ever seen in my life...modeling help put my life back together. So I knew I had to give back in some way. Building this group from the ground up is what I'm accomplishing. It's a rough road for sure...I found an awesome modeler on the "RPF" that said he'd host our new website. It's the start-up that's the hard p
  13. http://www.gofundme.com/20o9m8 Just a follow up...The "Warfighters Modelers Consortium" is proud to say that we've collected $70.00 so far for our group of Veterans with PTSD! I want to thank those who helped making this happen so far! Mike
  14. Hi Jason! Absolutely I would! My private stock is mostly Star Trek and Sci Fi...some of the guys just roll their eyes at me...LOL! What can I say...I'm a trekkie! The group will contain veterans from Vietnam to OIF/OEF (Iraq and Afghanistan). Instead of keeping guys from one particular combat era...I felt as tho a mix of generations could add more experience to the mix. I myself was combat wounded in Iraq and have PTSD also...which is what drove me to start this group. The VA is dreadfully slow to help some of these guys and they need a place to vent and get creative through that. PM
  15. Greetings All! I'm Mike and I'd like to introduce to you our private group for Veterans with PTSD. http://www.gofundme.com/20o9m8 The Warfighters Modelers Consortium is a Privately Led Group of PTSD Veterans that use modeling and replica building to help build a sense of community, self-worth and camaradie in a low stress environment. Model building itself is great for reintegration, coordination strengthening and trust among members of our group to cope with anxiety provoking situations -- all resulting in higher confidence and greater sense of self-worth and passion, and control in li
