@LeonardMJoyner@EODHappyCaptain@hotscots_app@Rose_Lori My opinion on why this has not always been the standard, again from the Navy side, applicable to shore dining - we are operating on a mid-20th century concept of cafeteria dining. Private sector moved away from that years ago. Military has been slow to change.
@LeonardMJoyner@EODHappyCaptain@hotscots_app@Rose_Lori This past year I was part of the same effort on the Navy side. BAS doesn’t necessarily have to increase, BDFA must increase (how much the dining facility can spend on food) and there needs to be a significant investment of O&M to offset increased production cost/facilities cost
@99_the_comments@NavalInstitute at sea only. Officers always receive BAS, which doesn’t cover 100% of meals underway, we pay OOP for a portion, but we typically use better mess facilities (the wardroom). BAS is meant for rations for the Sailor only.
@99_the_comments@NavalInstitute Kind of accurate. All enlisted sailors are entitled to BAS minus those at RTC. Any sailor in unaccompanied housing (barracks) typically has BAS withheld during the whole tour, as they eat on the ship and have access to a shore galley. Sailors not in barracks have BAS withheld 1/x
DAV is extremely disappointed and alarmed by VA’s decision to issue an Interim Final Rule today that could potentially reduce disability compensation for millions of disabled veterans. The new regulation would allow VA to reduce disability compensation ratings for veterans who take medications to control their conditions or reduce their symptoms.
The rule—which disregards clear decisions from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, Jones v. Shinseki, 26 Vet. App. 56 (2012) & Ingram v. Collins, 38 Vet. App. 130 (2025)—was developed and issued in a closed and unnecessarily expedited process that effectively shut out veterans from providing any meaningful input.
It is unclear if and how VA is implementing this dramatic change and how it will impact the more than 6 million veterans currently receiving disability compensation, most of whom are taking at least one medication. https://t.co/Si1eIoupUO
