6-10 weeks for any kind of glasses. 4 hours for them to fax a prescription. This VA has gone massively down hill in the last 5 years.

I will admit that I am biased as I have worked at the VA now for 10 years. What I have seen here is excellence in terms of nursing, housekeeping, the kitchen staff, etc... How we all work as a team to make the veteran's we care for happy. This isn't for everyone and not everyone shares my opinions. I have had amazing experiences with the veterans here. The little things matter to most. Just listening and trying to understand the depth of Normandy or Korea... Or Vietnam. Even though it is all beyond me the respect I feel is tremendous. The brave come here and we serve them. I count myself lucky.

The service here is getting worse and less friendly. I don't know if it's staff cuts but it's getting harder to get someone to answer a phone and even harder to get a call back. If you are a person that has a job better believe that you will have to take off work to get anything done.

I served at Camp Lejuene, NC in the years June 1955 thru July 1956. There has been published via TV an ad regarding law suits pending over contaminated water at Camp Lejuene from the years 1953-1980. Do you have information regarding this?

William Sontheimer | Aug 13, 2022
Larry Dunlap | Aug 13, 2022

There is information available through Department of Veteran's Affairs and on the web at VA.gov. If you were serving at Camp Lejune during that time please pursue your VA benefits to their fullest extent.

Why is the wi fi so p poor. With today's technology, surely should be better

George Eger | Oct 13, 2019
Christopher Spinelli | Oct 13, 2019

While i cant say for sure, i do know that the building isnt signal friendly. Also, the network is bogged down by firewalls and other security features required by the federal government that will cause internet traffic to slow considerably no matter the bandwidth. It is a necessary evil with the sensitive information contained within that network. Not the most satisfying answer but it does explain at least a portion of the slow wifi speeds.

Who do i talk to for unsafe apartment unsafe dringing water from a well

Charles Puff | Oct 13, 2018
Shannon Hannah | Oct 13, 2019

Depending upon where you're located you should contact the local health facility and you should also contact every public office that you possibly can and I would also approach the local TV stations with the proof that you have of the contaminated water and bring it to the note of the FDA and OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency. There may be a fracking of gas going on around you and if that is so it will cause cancer
