Marine brothers in Kuwait, Bravo 1/4 Marines

The Moore Brothers. Both bothers were in Weapons Platoon unit was leaving Iraq and sitting in Kuwait to go home from our second deployment. One brother was an 0351 Assaults Men  and the other was 0331 Machine Gunner. It was hard to believe that both brothers were in the same unit and the same Platoon.  I guess the Corps wanted to keep them together.  I was actually good friends with both brothers. I was an 0351 my self.  We were on the 11th and 13th MEU diploid to Kuwait. 
I am glad to say that we all made out alive.  Hugh Rough.....

VA Health Care Enrollment Process

Veterans are now eligible for a comprehensive health care package that is completely portable across the entire VA health care system. To receive health care, most veterans must be enrolled first.

New Priority Group 8 Relaxed Income Thresholds
Regulations now enable VA to enroll certain Priority Group 8 veterans who applied for enrollment and who may have been previously denied enrollment in the VA health care system because their income exceeded VA's income thresholds. These Veterans may now qualify if their household income does not exceed the current VA income thresholds by more than 10%. To see if you are eligible and to access a calculator to see how you stand against the income thresholds, visitwww4.va.gov/healtheligibility/eligibility/enrollment.asp. If you have any enrollment or eligibility questions, you may call 1-877-222-VETS (8387).

Application Process

To apply for VA health care benefits, including enrollment you must fill out an application for enrollment, VA Form 10-10EZ. You may obtain this form by one of the following means:

• The VA website, www.va.gov/1010EZ.htm, or
• Visit, call, or write any VA health care facility or Veterans Benefits Office, or
• Call the VA Health Resource Center, toll-free at 877-222-VETS(8387), Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. eastern.

The VA uses the 10-10EZ application to determine if you have qualifying service as a veteran and your status so you can be placed into one of theEnrollment Priority Groups.

Once enrolled you will remain enrolled without having to reapply for benefit annually. However, some veterans will need to update their financial information yearly to keep their enrollment priority current. VA will contact you when or if it is necessary to update their financial information.

The VA has a quick two-question form to help you determine your if you qualify for VA health care. Visit the VA Health Care Qualification Tool to get started.
