IAVA is a great organization adn proud to be a member.

Agree with the questions, we've got to get our fatcat politicans off their 4th POC and address VA shortcomings- VA needs a confirmed budget like the rest of the gov't, not funding which disappears to other hands during the year. They got to reduce the backlog of cases pending. There has to be a better hand off of patients between active duty and the VA. We got the work on PTSD/mental problems better. The VA has got to stop looking like our homeless brothers- standing on a street cornor w/hat in hand, begging for a hand-out fro Congress. Let's take the pork barrel deals, and put that money into VA funding! Or better yet, put Congress on Ellis Island as a tourist attraction!

I have a question about joining the military and having a mental disorder. What are the rules about wanting to join but you have a mental disorder and you dont know if you can join?
