Looking for Sarge

[carolinajim]

Some years back, I seem to remember someone called Sarge that helped a lot of people with dealing with VA claims. If anyone can help me contact him, I would appreciate it.

it's been quite a while since he was here, you might send him a private message and he respond to you

Are you a member of the VFW?? I became a member and just a few month later got help with my V.A. claims

First let me say thank you for your service! Looking at the profile of the YT member “Sarge” it shows 18 posts by him. Since they are from 2004 and before they apparently were not brought over into the new software archive or they were in Tractor Tales which I don’t think are archived. Did you previously have a different user name? If not you would not have seen any of his posts as current discussions because he was only a member up until 2004 and you didn’t join until 2024. Coming back to his post number of 18, it seems unlikely he had much discussion with anyone about VA benefits unless he made lengthy replies that covered the topic and that was it. I am not saying it isn’t possible, just saying it seems unlikely. Attempting to contact him through a Private (Direct) message is a futile effort since his profile shows him as “last seen” as 2004. This means he hasn’t signed into the new software that was initiated on Dec. 28, 2023, he would have no way of receiving the message. Although he may have been viewing the forums since 2004 without logging in, again unlikely. I would say you are possibly remembering the wrong username.
For this forum in my opinion this is a “Tractor Tales” topic. I would suggest placing a thread there and explaining the issue to see if current active members can be of help to you.
Secondly, there are actually forums that deal with this topic which I would think that would be a better resource. I do understand that you may feel more connected and would be more likely to trust members on here.

It took me years to get service connected but I did and am rated at 10% for one thing and another 10% for something else and now that VFW helped me I am 50% for another thing

Good to know you got it done. The only thing I am missing is dental. Was approved for travel for 10 years before I knew it.
A lot of missed trips. But no complaints, getting good care.
Haven't forgotten you there "old", been a while. Never got out to Missouri to look you up. Take care.

Back in the day I traveled all over the U.S. but now I try to only drive close to home. Some how when you where younger and drove a lot to me makes me want ot drive a lot less now. But I do have around 2 million miles on my driving record. Drove when we where in Scotland since I was the only person on the sub I was on who had a military lience SP

I can’t speak for other states, but Texas has County Veteran Service Officers. The one in our county has an office in our county court house. He submitted everything needed to get the ball rolling. All he asked of me was a copy of my DD214. It was on file in the county clerk’s office, so it was easily accessible.

Visit your VSO at your court house.
Good help there. Thanks

Our VSO here says all they know is get a lawyer, won't even talk about it. I think that is just our county, never have gotten anywhere with them.

Some are but many aren't worth your time I have run into both types of them

As old said, not all VSOs are created equal. Some are hardworking and knowledgeable and some are just in it for the ride.

Thank you, and I believe we have found our answer. Thanks for all the help.
