And my knee STILL hurts.
Guess my fellow vets are going to get their way here. The Corps hosed it up, and the Corps is going to pay for it. I just really hate the idea of submitting myself once again to the US Government's hurry up and wait schedule.

heh heh .... resistance is futile!!
Look, knucklehead, the government owes you treatment. They do not owe you an easy time of it. That being said, you have been through far worse. If the government said they are going to give you a gazillion dollars but you have to fill out "these forms in triplicate" and wait two years, you would fill out the damned forms and wait two years. Besides, look at it this way, you going to the VA and getting what is owed to you aggravates the crap out of liberals!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

ANd so here you are 20 years later going "damn, my knee hurts". LOL. It is what it is; now you get to collect on a debt.

More importantly, bum knee or not, I can STILL clean and press my own bodyweight.
Way back when I was a SSgt and we rode dinosaurs into battle, a Gunny had a "no pull ups chit". It was because the Navy cut on him. The result was he couldn't lift his arm higher than shoulder level. That scared me. He was permanently DONE because some numbnut squid cut his ligament too short. All the pay in the world isn't worth it to me.

Understood. However, this is now; you have better things to do with your life and all that physical prowess, while still important, is now secondary to your greater mission of living life well. I sincerely am hoping you get relief. By the way, the only thing I can clean and press is my one fancy suit and I take that to a professional!More importantly, bum knee or not, I can STILL clean and press my own bodyweight.

Good thing you have fellow vets to encourage you, hardhead.
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.
