I always find that people that think the VA is so wonderful do not nor would not use the VA.

I experienced the VA with a wounded warrior about 2 yrs. ago. I wanted to cry when I left it was horrible!

For the most part, you're right. I've been in the VA systems in Nashville, Salt Lake, Little Rock and Pinellas County, FL, and they were awful!. But the VA Center here in Boise is definitely a breath of fresh air. The attitude and attentiveness of the staff is a stark contrast to the lackadaisical civil servant mindset I experienced at those other centers.

Kudos to the Boise VA Center.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

The husband doesn’t use VA. He got tired of being treated like he was lying about his head nearly being blown off and lost patience, so he uses tricare. I know there are wounded troops who weren’t medically retired that don’t have a choice though. :( Prayers for your son!!

When I first moved to Maine, I was asked if I would sign up at the VA. I replied when I’m dead take me there. They can’t make it any worse.

Not 2 months later I broke a foot and ended up at Togus VA.

I’ve experienced 7 VA hospitals, 5 Military hospitals, and 3 civilian hospitals in my life. I’ve never been treated better than at Togus for the past ten years.
