VA vocational rehab. I was surprised at all the things they failed to tell us in the ETS brief.

That's definitely needle in a haystack. I only know two who've used it. Good suggestion.

Information on the easiest way to gain access to the VA. For example, in order to enroll in the VA system, I was told I had to enroll into DERS in order to gain access to another VA database. As a veteran, I am in DEERS but I had to register anyway by sending them a copy of my DD214. I had tried calling to ask questions, but no one would ever call me back. All total, I spent 40 hours just registering in a database that I am in, in order to register for another database that I needed to be in. Many veterans give up, because it is not worth the hassle.

Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS)
DEERS is a computerized database of military sponsors, families and others worldwide who are entitled to TRICARE benefits.

Odd. That would include eBenefits and MyHealthevet, too then? Am I missing something?

SGT (Join to see) - I had to get access to DEERS before I could gain access to eBenefits. These databases did not exist when I was discharged.
