As seen on yesterday's episode of Bearing Arms' Cam & Co

I know it's on that other site but until we build our own it's probably the best one around.

This announcement is a companion post to mine on that other site.

If you need to do in-person proofing to get a DS Logon account, DO NOT blindly drive to the nearest VA Regional Office. Neither the VA call center nor the help desk at DMDC will tell you this, but NOT EVERY OFFICE DOES IT.

I just threw away an afternoon I could have worked a security shift only to arrive two hours away and get ramrodded back to the people who told me to drive down there in the first place. This is after the National Archives supposedly sent me my separation documents and ask.va.gov resolved my request without even doing anything.

The vet rep at my congressman's office will be in touch with me on Monday. I need VGLI and my NGB 22, which is only available through...well...nowhere, apparently.

UPDATE: Spoke with my congressman's office. Passing them details tonight. Oh, and I drove another afternoon during the workday down to Fort Wayne IN VAMC only to find that they don't do in-person proofing, either.

UPDATE 2: CONGRIT sent from their office to the DoD.

UPDATE 3: DMDC called me back to recommend I contact my state National Guard records bureau. Since I was last in the Virginia ANG she gave me the following address:

VA ARNG
ATTN: DCSPER, IPERMS RECORDS CUSTODIAN
316 10TH ST
BLACKSTONE VA 23824-3036

UPDATE 4: Congressman's office forwarded my DL and Passport to DMDC. Got proofed and an e-mail to activate my account. Requested records in DPRIS. In 24-48 hours we'll know if this is over.

From the campus of Old Dominion University
WHRV-HD Norfolk VA
Sun 1p-5p, Mon-Thu 9p-1a, Sat 1a-5a ET

I don't feel this way about Ohio but it seems everyone else in MI does

The Heritage Foundation’s Amy Swearer, a senior legal policy analyst in the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, testified this week on gun control policy before the Virginia State Crime Commission. Over the course of the two-day hearing, the commission heard testimony from law enforcement, gun control activists, researchers, public policy experts, and citizens. They offered solutions to gun violence and shared their concerns about proposed legislation.

Defending Your Right to Defend Yourself

This is the organization that organized the rally on MLK Day 2020 at the State Capitol in Richmond during which tens of thousands of gun-rights advocates from within and outside of the Commonwealth descended to make their voices heard: NO MORE GUN CONTROL!

As we in the U.S. are on our Christmas-in-July mini-vacation, let us celebrate the departure from yet another evil empire who abused those in their charge for the sake of their own ego.
