The reason it takes longer for Marines who aren't/weren't in MOL is because they have to HAND SEARCH to verify the claims, which often means going through unit histories, etc etc. Yes, I realize you submitted paperwork, but it STILL has to be verified. Sadly, that's the nature of the world we live in (thanks to the posers).

And, in dealing with these people, just remember, they are gummint civil servants. If you don't have success with the first time, then KEEP TRYING. Eventually it'll happen.

What, you thought the gummint was just going to make it easy on ya? Come on, now...WHEN has that ever happened?

Be persistent, and keep on trying. Phone calls are almost always a waste of time, as are fax's, about the only way to get it done is by filling out the proper forms, making copies for yourself, and sending them 'snail mail'. Return receipt requested.
