Get out of the water quickly.230. Gartner snakes dont bite. I played with one in a patrol base back in Basic. We named him Steve.231. You can make a butterfly sit on your finger by rubbing your finger on the plant its on. Move your finger underneath where its straw mouth thingy is and then under its legs and wallah, you got a picture!232. Baby or young racoons are way fuckin more aggressive than adults. A pair of them scared the piss outta me once.232. Do not fuck with wild hogs or boar. Im pretty sure they'll kill you.233. Do not use baking soda too often when brushing your teeth. Its abrasive.234. Do not eat wild berries. Most of them only birds can eat. Only for a human is the raspberry, mulberry and black/blueberries.235. Put the toilet seat cover down before you flush. Everytime you flush, billions of bacteria fly outta your toilet and contaminate everything.236. Don't make promises if you doubt you can keep them.237. Bumble Bees dont sting. Honey Bees don't even sting unless you step on them. Only Wasps and Hornets are the real shitbags.238. Have scrap metals? Google the cost per pound they're being bought for. If they ask you of you walked in or of you drove, always say you drove. They wont buy your metals if you walked. This includes soda cans, iron, copper and shit.239. Do not try to sell rail road ties. That's illegal I've been told, and read as well.240. SNRIS are typically safer than SSRIS241. If there is a red line running from your foot or anke or your leg, and it keeps going up towards your torso, that's septicemia or sepsis, can't remember. Anyway, get to the hospital because as soon as it reaches your heart level you will die.242. You can use a hair dryer and an extension cord to thaw shit out near your house243. Driveway covered in snow? Bring your lawnmower in thr house and let the oil warm up. Raise the height higher than the snow. Congratulations, you have a snow blower. Yes it works, I did this only wearing my ushanka, pants and ski mask.244. Want cheap iced coffee? Get a star bucks bottle. Pour warm coffee you made into bottle. Put on porch for about 15 minutes. Walk out in underwear and ushanka like you own the place, and enjoy.245. Want to make flavored drink? Get pot. Boil water. Add 2 box of strawberry, and one box of blueberry. Dump in pot. Let boil or near boil 10minutes. Then let simmer for 45 minutes. Add one cup sugar, then stir for 10 minute. Pour into big jar. You're now made Kompot. You need big pot.246. There are Russian sleeper cells in the US. Anna Chapman and her posse was one of them247. You can buy de-militarized surplus gear at auctions and online for much cheaper than bid to the government. You gotta figure out how to do it, but when I was like 10 i read in a book from the 70’s that you could do it. You still can im sure.248. If someone hits you with the whole “its classified” they're full of shit and never served. Most people only have a secret clearance which is the middle of the three. Two, unless they're an Agency Spook or a Delts Operator, literally they can talk about everything. Once an operation is over its over. The fact they say they can't just tells you how weak of an imagination they have.249. A New World Order was declared by Old Man Bush in a SOTU.250. The Counsel on Foreign Relations published a book called A Project for a New American Century that called for and I quote from memory “ A catalyzing event, a New Pearl Harbor, to galvanize support from the American people”Round 3, Vehicle shit251. If you pump your brakes instead of just hold down on the pedal, it can catch someones attention better and gives them more time to react252. Driving in the Winter? Depending on your cars drive wheel type, it may be best to put some extra weight in the trunk.253. 4 wheel drive does not mean 4 wheel stop. Slow down over ice in your 4x4 , hero254. You can tell if your brakes are going out if theres less resistance in them than usual255. Never tailgate a tractor trailer to get a gas mileage boost. You cant react fast enough if he stops, and he cant see you.256. If you get pulled over, leave enough space so the trooper can approach your passenger side window. People are attracted by flashing lights, fixate, and troopers die because of it.257. Steam coming from your hood? Wait a good while before you open it, or you'll end up lookin like Chucky258. Got a ye ye truck? Put chains on them tires and own the road. You can use studs too.259. Does it take a while for your car to turn over, or it comes close but never does? Its probably a starter dude.260. Salt they put on the roads is hell on your chassis and brakes. Check yourself every Spring.261. Trunk to small to fit some lumber or shit? Check to see if your rear seat folds over and allows access to the trunk.262. Driving in snow or rain? Double or triple the distance between you and other cars, instead of the usual263. Just look in your cars manu there's all sorts of shit tailored to your specific car.Round 4. Beer, Alcohol, and Wine264. Lager is supposed to be drank room temp. Ale is supposed to be drank chilled.265. Each wine can be best paired with a food. Riesling for example goes well with cheese and meats.266. Back in the day they made wine by having all the village people step on grapes in a huge wooden bowl thing267. Alcohol and Mead was drank during the plague and other years because alcohol was boiled and it killed disease in the process268. Dont know what IPA means? It stands for Imperial Pale Ale, and is hoppier than usual. Same as India Pale Ale269. White wine is made from white grapes. Red wine is made from red grapes270. Just because it is wine does not mean its weak. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.271. Never drink a lone open beer can. It could've been used as a spitter, pisser, or ashtray. The taste is not pleasant.272. Whiskey dick is real. Don't try to bang drunk guys …273. Don't mix beer and liquor, otherwise you can't pace yourself. Assume however that one shot is the equivalent or stronger than one beer274. Do not let others pressure you into drinking at a pace you aren't comfortable with.275. Make it a habit of wearing pants with zip up pockets. This is a safety barrier to you losing ykur shit.276. German beer is worth the extra penny. Have you ever drank a beer that has a bananna after taste? Then Franziskaner is your brauRound 4. Conspiracies and lies277. Sandy Hooky wasn't a false flag278. The CIA overthrew the Sha of Iran279. The CIA gave weapons to the Mujahadeen, Iranians, Iraqis, ISIS, basically everyone. They're all killing themselves, all our spooks are doing is speeding up the process280. Herr Erwin Rommel really didn't know about the bomb plot of Von Stauffenberg to kill Hitler. But others told Hitler that he did281. Does.anyone on Quora know or have dealt with 80 people that would later commit suicide? No. But Hillary Clinton did.282. Jack Ruby knew Lee Harvey Oswald.283. The KGB bugged LHOs home in Russia when he was staying there with Marina.284. Dennis Hastert, FRMR House Speaker was a pedophile. How many others are there that knew, or that we dont know about.285. The moonlanding happened.286. The Vatican has a telescope named Lucifer, and it also has a shit ton of gold. So much for humility and being humble.287. The Vatican covers up pedophilia. I hate pedophiles and want to fight them because I was molested once, and was creeped on hard 3 other times.288. Operation Mockingbird was a plan orchestrated by the CIA to infiltrate news media.289. Anderson Cooper was a CIA Analyst.290. Condy Rice knew in August the towers were going to be hit. Larry Silverstein took out a $99 million dollar insurance police a month or so before they got hit. More put options were placed on airlines on 9/11 than any other time in history. A put option is betting that the price of a stock will fall.291. George W Bush created more insurgents when he refused to pay the new Iraqi Army a $20 dollar salary per day week month or whatever. So many just joined Al Qaeda instead. Or the baath remnant's292. There were no nukes in Iraq. It was a lie spread in the UN to get a resolution passed.293. Prescott Bush helped fund Germany in WWII294. A trillion dollar lithium vein was found in Afghanistan.295. Adam Weishaupt created the Illuminati, but they disbanded in the late 1800’s.296. Saddam Hussein put a bounty on Old man Bush297. Marcus Luttrell didn't face 140 fighters in Operation Red Wings. They faced 40 at best. Marine intel even says there wasn't 200 Taliban in all of Korengal Province that day.298. Lizard people is a biologial impossibility. It doesn't take me to tell you this299. FEMA camps do exist but they are called “residential centers”300. HAARP is real but the government would most likely not use it on our soil301. UFOs are real because I've seen two of them myself .

What is a day in the life of a Marine drill instructor like, and how do they get through it? It seems as if it requires 100 times the discipline a typical recruit would need.

In the late 80s, I was privileged to be a U.S. Army DI at Fort Sill, home of the Field Artillery. During my time on the trail I was additionally privileged to a Army/USMC DI swap, I think the logic behind it was that during that time the U.S. Army trained Marine artillerymen as there was no Marine AIT for gun bunnies. So yeah I did get to see the USMC side as well, and honestly, not extremely different, I think the Marines got more CADRE led training than the Army did at that time, we Army (Drill Instructors) , Taught NBC classes, BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship), Hand Grenades, Light Infantry weapons and tactics, whereas my Marine counter part had a little more additional Cadre help for those classes, I don’t think either as better or worse.The Army Drill Instructor (my) day started during fill week at about 0330 hours and ended about 10 or 11 weeks later on graduation , get a week off , rinse and repeat for 2 years, or if your a masochist do a 3rd year, after being psychologically evaluated. it seems I was caught in a preputal personnel shortage and had the responsibility of having a platoon of 42 recruits by myself or if lucky only one other Drill Sargent.The DI is always “on” constantly, no real downtime, for me it was very difficult to switch off the Drill Sargeant after a 18 hour day, during the first few weeks , I essentially stayed the night in my office , allowing myself brief off duty time to see my wife and two kids just to make their lives miserable and to let them know I was still around.Your under Someones scrutinizing eye at all times , the recruits , the chain of command , other cadre staff, other military personnel etc…Like I said your always, “on”.My Day started at 0330- I need to be awake and perfect , I would usually stretch and do some light PT , what the recruits needed to see is a pro, setting the example , not some beat up old man that was 15–20 years their senior , with neck, back and knee issues, get em up , bunks made , and herded outside for PT. Hour or hour and half of PT , herd them all in for showers and sick call (what you thought you could get out of PT for vaginal issues by going on sick call ? Not in my platoon)March them to morning chow, try and get some additional training time in while they are waiting in line, go over rank structure, General orders , vehicle identification, NBC procedures anything to get them prepared to be an effective combat solider.After morning chow it’s probably getting close to 0830–0900 time to start the training day!March them to class where either I conducted the training and was responsible for the content and material or turned the platoon over to a cadre instructor, either way the DI is there making sure the recruits are learning as well as assisting the instructor, depending on what class and what phase the cycle was in, some of these classes could be close by the barracks , or maybe a small road march away, it varied, and again depends on what part of the training cycle your in.Lunch Chow 1230-1330 again totally depends where you are in the training cycle, could be hot chow in the mess hall, MRE in the field, Sack Lunch in the field , (Ranges , Basic Rifle Marksmanship, NBC classes, etc) or classroom, sometimes Hot served in the field if lucky, as this is also a training opportunity i would try and utilize each time I got a chance, treat it like a tactical exercise if possible, or teach hygiene , lords knows some of these recruits had no upbringing and simple hygiene was new to them.Afternoon-More Classes to conduct or assist with.End off the official Training Day about 1700–1730 or soEvening Chow1800–1830 Fallout for some evening PT -I tried to mix it up, do some competitive sport type stuff, relays, king of the sand pit, or maybe a “Fun Run” which was to go by the other training barracks or permanent party and do derogatory cadence calls, establishing that this platoon was beyond doubt, The Best Damn Battery in BCT !!!”Back in the Barracks, Mail call around 2000, have some informal training, maybe some one on one if needed, mail call was always a good time to evaluate how the platoon was responding to training, who was weak , who was strong etc…clean and maintenance time, laundry, square away gear and uniform and prepare for next training day, showers and lights out at 2200.2200- (essentially 5 1/2 hours until I start my day again), look at PT scores or BRM scores , there usually was some piddly paperwork to take care of, some stat report or reply by endorsement nonsense I had to do or answer to because Pvt. Snuffy hadn’t written or called home , or because Major so and so’s wife heard our morning PT cadence call and there was foul language in it and she was offended, hopefully no late night counseling had to be done, and I do mean real counseling, such as Pvt Heartbroken is sure his girl friend is leaving him for his brother, and he is going to kill himself or go AWOL, so it’s the DI’s duty to talk him down or out of doing something stupid.So on a goodnight, I shower about 2300, and hit the bunk in my office at about 2315 , on a busy night , you do the math.How did I get though it ? I don’t know , I wasn't aware there was another option, It never occurred to me to complain or tell my Senior Drill , 1st Sergeant or Commander , hey I can’t do this, if I didn’t do it then some other Drill Sergeant would have to pick up my slack, and that was just not a option I could deal with. In regards to being constantly understaffed, that was just the way it was, generally a Army DI back then did a year in BCT and the last year in AIT , AIT being a little less time intensive on the DI’s part, because of the shortage I did 2 years in BCT (Basic Combat Training).Did we get burnt out ? teaching the same classes, over and over, hell yea ! but I had good leadership and I like to think my recruits did not suffer, my Senior Drill Instructor and 1st Sergeant would monitor us DI’s (more of those “eye’s constantly on you) Switch up our classes, and if it ever got to be too much , the Senior Drill was there to step in and take over.Did it take MORE discipline ? nah I never felt like discipline was the word or issue, a sense of duty, or if I don’t do this who will? maybe is a better term.Maybe More discipline to keep my own shit together, I seen Drill Sergeant Duty ruin a couple careers, and seen it destroy several marriages.I witnessed several DI’s methods and can honestly state that some DI’s should never have been awarded the “This We’ll Defend” patch, mistakes are made, some people personalities just should not have the kind of power a DI has, and I can honestly and proudly say this those that “shouldn’t” have been DI’s were held in check and removed from the position.Steal a line from the Movie “Fury” , “ best job I ever had”, not because of the power or the ego trip, some get off on that, but the satisfaction of taking 42 civilians and turning them into or priming them into something the US Army can use to defend this great country with, there is no better feeling.“Truly The Best Job I ever had!”Drill Sergeant Creed.I am a Drill SergeantI will assist each individual in their efforts to become a highly motivated, well disciplined, physically and mentally fit Soldier, capable of defeating any enemy on today's modern battlefield.I will instill pride in all I train, pride in self, in the Army, and in country.I will insist that each Soldier meets and maintains the Army's standards of military bearing and courtesy, consistent with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.I will lead by example, never requiring a Soldier to attempt any task I would not do myself.But first, last, and always, I am an American Soldier, sworn to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.I am a Drill Sergeant.

What are the pros and cons of going active duty or Army Reserve?

Q: What are the pros and cons of going active duty or Army Reserve?A: I am qualified to answer this! I went US Army Reserve under the mistaken impression that it would be one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Instead, during my thirteen years as a Reservist, I spent more than half my time on active duty.Edit: I have updated with suggestions from Steve Yi in the comments.Active Duty vs. Reserve DutyActive Duty =AReserve Duty = RAge RequirementsA: Be between the ages of 17-42 years.R: Be between the ages of 17-42 years.Note that returning service members can actually come in after the 42 years of age cut-off. Subtract your years of service from your age. If that number is in the range, then you could possibly get back in. This is limited by open spots for prior enlisted.Length of ServiceA: 2-6 year commitment/Serve a total of 8 years in the military *Including Inactive Ready Reserve serviceR: 1-6 year unit commitment/ Serve a total of 8 years in the military *Including Inactive Ready Reserve serviceRetirementA: May Retire after 20 yrs. of qualifying service. Once eligible, you start receiving your pension the day after you level the military.R: Modified retirement possible after 20 yrs. of qualifying service. Once eligible, you will wait till age 60 to start receiving your pension. The start of your pension can be reduced 3 months for every of 3 months of Active service.Another note is “double-dipping” as some governmental agencies allow for multiple pensions. My ex was a California Highway Patrol officer. He got a California pension as well as his US Army retirement.Job ChoicesA: 200 jobs to choose fromR: 180 jobs to choose fromMedical / Dental BenefitsA: Full Medical and dental benefits.Active duty service members pay nothing out-of-pocket.Active duty family members pay nothing unless using the point-of-service option.All other beneficiaries pay annual enrollment fees and network copayments.R: Medical and dental benefits when on active duty *See my comments about medical care I received while on “Active Duty”. In the reserves you can purchase medical insurance.Low Cost Health, Dental, & Life InsuranceAll eligible members of the Selected Reserve may qualify to purchase coverage under TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS). You must be a member of the Selected Reserve or the Ready Reserve, and you cannot be eligible for or enrolled in the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program (or currently covered under FEHB).You’ll pay a monthly premium for health care coverage, just like most civilians do in their employer’s health care plans. The monthly premiums are:$50.75 for TRS member-only coverage*$205.62 for TRS member and family coverage*Job training opportunitiesA & R: Specialized job training (AIT)Note that some schools are run for Reserve vs. Active components only. In general you will get the same training. If you do go to a reserve component only course, it will likely be shorter and cover items in less detail.A: Once you start gaining rank, there are additional schools that provide greater leadership and technical training. Active duty almost everyone goes to these.R: Only a handful of reservists are sent to the senior MOS courses. It a combination of their SM being too busy in their regular jobs or there not being money available to send them.Location of dutyA: May be stationed at home or on foreign soil. Potential for selecting assignment.Active duty service members are often granted basic choice in where they will be stationed after recruit training and military occupational specialty school - called Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for Army Soldiers. Active duty enlistees can be stationed anywhere within the United States or abroad depending on the duties and mission of their respective unit.It’s basically up to one guy in charge of your MOS and rank to decide where you go, if you can get in good with that person you can go anywhere you want to go as long as there is an opening. Once you’re pretty senior you can start shopping units on your own.R: Stationed at home unless called to active duty. When called to active duty, activating unit makes choice.Reserve status members will be stationed near their home and only be subject to international station in the event they are called for active duty. If the Reserve Unit is more than 100 miles from their home, they might qualify for individual drill training. This must be approved in advance.If you plan ahead and contact your unit of choice. If they like you, you can arrange to have orders assigning you to that unit. And you can stay put as long as you do a good job. Just like Active duty, you deploy when your unit does. But, If you want to deploy more often you can find volunteer opportunity for Individual Augmentees.Work ScheduleA: Serve 5 days a week. *Typically. Not 100% across all jobs. Some are 4/10s.R: Serve one weekend a month and two contiguous weeks a year. *Unless called to active duty. Then active unit orders will determine work schedule.Vacation & LeaveA: 30 days military leave per year (paid vacation)R: Paid vacation only if you are on extended active duty. Key here - extended active duty.Social & Recreational ProgramsA: Unlimited access to all military Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) facilities or programsR: Unlimited access to all military Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) facilities or programs. *In theory. I personally have been turned away while I was a reservist. I was asked for my Active Duty orders before they would allow me access. Likely not per regulation, just because they said … Meh.Education BenefitsA: Educational benefitsThe Federal Perkins Loan Program allows you to cancel your current student loan debt if you have served on active duty in a combat situation.The College Loan Repayment Program will repay part of your current student loans.The Concurrent Admissions Program (ConAP) allows you to earn college credit towards your degree while you serve in the Army or Army Reserve.The Military Spouse Education And Career Opportunities (SECO) program will allow your spouse access to tuition funding, free career counseling services, and employment readiness tools that he or she can use to get an education.MONTGOMERY GI BILLThe Montgomery GI Bill provides education benefits to veterans and service members who have served at least two years on active duty. Montgomery GI Bill can be used to pay up to full tuition for numerous schooling programs, including college, technical school, and flight school. Benefits are generally payable for 10 years following your release from honorable military service.THE POST 9/11 GI BILLThe Post 9/11 GI Bill is open to members of the U.S. Military who began their service after Sept. 10, 2001. Can earn full tuition to the college of your choice for up to 36 months, plus a monthly housing allowance and a books and supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year.R: Some Educational benefits.The Selected Reserve Montgomery Bill (SR-MGIB) provides Army Reserve Soldiers with cash to put toward college tuition.The Army Reserve Montgomery GI Bill “Kicker” is extra money eligible Army Reserve Soldiers can add on top of their Selected Reserve GI Bill benefits.The Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP) provides educational assistance to Army Reserve Soldiers called to active duty in response to war or a national emergency.Under the Loan Repayment Program (LRP), the Army will repay 15 percent of the outstanding principal balance on your student loan or $500 per year (whichever is greater) after you spend a year in service.With the Tuition Assistance program, the Army will pay $250 per semester hour of college credit.The Concurrent Admissions (ConAp) program allows you to earn credit towards your college degree while serving in the Army or Army Reserve.The Minuteman Scholarship allows high school and college students to receive full tuition or $10,000 in room and board in return for a service commitment.Commissary PrivilegesA: Unlimited post exchange and commissary privilegesR: Unlimited post exchange and commissary privileges. *Commissary cards used to be issued with punch blocks for your visits. Several of the bases that I went to changed that to unlimited visits and only required a Reserve ID. But it could be limited to 24 visits per year.Physical RequirementsA: Physical training 3-4 times a weekR: Responsible for maintaining your own physical fitness (you will be tested twice a year)The physical standards are the same. The APFT tests are administered using the same scale:http://www.usarec.army.mil/downloads/mrb/AECP/Application_Process/DA__form_705_APFT_scorecard.pdfPayA: Military pay is governed by time in as well as rank. Example: An officer of rank O-2, with over 4 years of service would be paid $4,643.74 per month.Military Pay Charts for Active DutyR: National Guard and Reserve perform a minimum of one weekend drill per month, and two weeks per year of active duty for training. Compensation for drill is monthly Drill Pay, equal to one day's active duty base pay for each drill period. There are four drill periods in one weekend drill.*Based on 2014 military pay tables.**Pay for Private (E1) will be slightly lower for first four months of service.*Based on 2014 military pay tables.OtherA: If you are active duty you have job security, you are guaranteed a job for the length of your contract. If you want to stay in longer, as long as you don’t have a bar to reenlistment and the position is available, you can generally stay.Military Involuntary Separation Pay Rules & EligibilityIf you were discharged from active duty and received Special Separation Benefit or Voluntary Separation Incentive, read about VSI/SSB Recoupment before you consider applying for retirement.You will be required to repay the full gross VSI/SSB paid to date.Special Separation Benefit (SSB)Voluntary Separation Incentive (VSI)VSI/SSB RecoupmentDisability Severance PaySeparation with disability severance pay occurs when the Soldier's unfitting disabilities are determined by the Army to be service connected, the Soldier has less than 20 years of service as computed under 10 USC 1208, and the Soldier's combined disability rating assigned to the unfitting disabilities is less than 30 percent. Separation without entitlement to disability benefits occurs when the unfitting disabilities are determined to be non-service connected without permanent aggravation or incurred due to misconduct.Prior to January 28, 2008 members were required to have at least 6 months of service to qualify for discharge with severance pay. This rule no longer applies.Calculation and PaymentDisability severance pay is a one-time lump sum payment. The amount of the payment equals 2 months basic pay for each year of service not to exceed 19 years. Additionally, a minimum number of six years will be used for calculation purposes. Prior to January 28, 2008, a maximum of 12 years and minimum of three years creditable service was used.R: Soldiers of the Ready Reserve with 20 qualifying years and Soldiers of the Selected Reserve with 15 qualifying years with a disability disposition of separation with or without severance pay have an additional election in lieu of being separated.Final note:An Honorable discharge is actually a good thing in the civilian market. But should you get a Dishonorable Discharge, you will likely have problems finding employment as many companies will not hire someone if they have a dishonorable discharge. If you get an other than Honorable Discharge, you will likely have problems as well._______________________________________________________I got to “BE Active” but NOT “BE Active” at the same time. When I was mobilized, I was not given orders for more than twenty nine days at a stretch. The orders would be issued back to back, with a day in between so as to prevent me from being able to claim active duty benefits.As a reservist, I had to have a civilian job at the same time. Reserve pay did not pay the bills when I was not activated. Yet it was difficult to keep a job because I was constantly gone. Yes, I was protected by the Soldiers & Sailors Leave Act. No it didn’t matter.When on duty, if I was injured, I encountered lots of problems trying to get medical care. They would see me, with my orders. I had to fight to get my LOD *line of duty* form to prove that I was injured while on duty. If I did not get that piece of paper, I could not then get follow up care. EVEN with that piece of paper, getting follow up care was difficult. At the VA, as a Reservist, I was on the BOTTOM of the care priority list. I broke my leg on active duty - and was refused care at VA centers for a year. I basically did not work for several months because I could not walk. If I did, I would injure my leg even more.That priority list always seemed insurmountable for receiving care. Instead I went to civilian doctors and paid out of my own pocket because insurance doesn’t cover it either.You might think I was unhappy as a reservist. But that is not true. I would have gotten my 20 years had my husband not talked me out of staying. I loved every minute of it. I likely would have had an even better time as active. But who knows? I was a reservist, and I will never regret it.Priority Groups - Health BenefitsPriority Group 1Veterans with VA-rated service-connected disabilities 50% or more disablingVeterans determined by VA to be unemployable due to service-connected conditionsPriority Group 2Veterans with VA-rated service-connected disabilities 30% or 40% disablingPriority Group 3Veterans who are Former Prisoners of War (POWs)Veterans awarded a Purple Heart medalVeterans whose discharge was for a disability that was incurred or aggravated in the line of dutyVeterans with VA-rated service-connected disabilities 10% or 20% disablingVeterans awarded special eligibility classification under Title 38, U.S.C., § 1151, "benefits for individuals disabled by treatment or vocational rehabilitation"Veterans awarded the Medal Of Honor (MOH)Priority Group 4Veterans who are receiving aid and attendance or housebound benefits from VAVeterans who have been determined by VA to be catastrophically disabledPriority Group 5Nonservice-connected Veterans and noncompensable service-connected Veterans rated 0% disabled by VA with annual income below the VA’s and geographically (based on your resident zip code) adjusted income limitsVeterans receiving VA pension benefitsVeterans eligible for Medicaid programsPriority Group 6Compensable 0% service-connected VeteransVeterans exposed to Ionizing Radiation during atmospheric testing or during the occupation of Hiroshima and NagasakiProject 112/SHAD participantsVeterans who served in the Republic of Vietnam between January 9,1962 and May 7,1975Veterans of the Persian Gulf War who served between August 2, 1990 and November 11, 1998*Veterans who served on active duty at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953 and December 31, 1987Veterans who served in a theater of combat operations after November 11, 1998 as follows:Currently enrolled Veterans and new enrollees who were discharged from active duty on or after January 28, 2003, are eligible for the enhanced benefits for five years post discharge.**Combat Veterans who were discharged between January 2009 and January 2011, and did not enroll in the VA health care during their five-year period of eligibility have an additional one year to enroll and receive care.
