Many are.


Don't know about myth, I have heard anecdotal stories of guys getting it in the past. What their situation was is unknown to me and was the actual NVG use determined to be causal? Who knows?

That said, eyes start to go as we age. Is it exacerbated by staring at those little green TV tubes? Don't know...I do know they always used to tell me not to sit too close to the TV when I was a kid because it would ruin my eyes!
I think VA disability is a great program for those who have real, medically proven occupational disabilities.

All I'm saying is that look at the OP: synopsis: "Can I get disability for 100 hours of NVG time?" No statement that he/she is actually disabled in any way. Made my point for me.
