I have just recently applied for VR&E and have yet to secure an appointment with a counselor. Anything in particular I should be knowledgable of. I was not in theatre but served as Corpsman for 5 years and sustained an injury during completion of Field Med School- Camp Johnson, NC. I have not held a position for longer than 7 months since my honorable discharge in 2007 due to being in and out of school in attempts to further my career opportunities. I now have a child and my desire to advance and attain a permanent position is at its greatest. MA salary is not sufficient for my growing family. I say all that in hopes of hearing more specific responses. I have already begun to apply to the few remaining Bachelor's PA programs but will complete my BS in Biology within the next three semesters and begin applying to the Master's programs. Please, any and all information will be most appreciated. Thanks!

A memorandum rating of 20 percent or more from the VA or a service-connected disability rating of 10 percent or more. I found that bullet of info and am hoping it is true as I have a rating of 10 percent. Any insight appreciated.
