I always wondered about the 100 hour thing as well. I heard it so many times, flat out never understood it. During TAP I asked the DAV guy and got the blank look I sort of always expected. If nothing else, the average Joe Grunt has a hell of a lot more NVG time than I do, and they don't log it.

Hill I think you were a little off the top rope, but in general terms I agree with you. I went through TAP twice and both times was a little taken aback at the tone of the VA discussion.

LowSlow I get you too. But will humbly point out that waiving the VA funding fee will make a difference in my retired life. I have no thoughts of being anywhere near 50% (more to the point, deserving it), but I've had enough surgeries and eat enough motrin daily [to little effect] that I think I'll hit 10%. And know I've earned it. You are correct that the $ at 10% is insignificant, but losing the funding fee is pretty huge.
