I got a VA home loan, reduction on my real estate taxes, the GI Bill that paid well above and beyond my college costs ultimately sending me on a few vacations, a full ride to state college for 2 semesters (still collected GI Bill), 3 extra vacation days at work every year that non-Vets don't get, various discounts and rebates on all kinds of things including the two Jeeps I purchased, and I'm sure I'm missing some.
Well, shoot, I never got any of that stuff! Of course, I wasn't' in during the GI Bill years- they had a terrible new program called VEAP. Which meant I got $2 for every $1 I put in for education once I got out. It was under $5000 total, but they did pay 90% of my tuition and books while I was in.
While I was in, I got a free trip to Grenada. That trip sucked.
I got a free trip to Germany, too, which was great. I lived in Germany for the rest of my enlistment.
I probably could ask for Veteran's Discounts at the auto repair shop, and get it. But I never thought to ask.
I got exactly what my enlistment contract said I would- a pay, 30 days vacation per year, free medical and dental care, and all for several years.
I did get some free Space-A flights (unexpected), and education while I was in. I bought a TV at the PX.
I don't mean to sound hard, but when you sign up, you have a contract which is honored by the government. To expect more later is not realistic.
