Not really. I tried before but I didn’t have the time to do it. I have gone overseas a couple times since 2005. I need to consult my records to remember it all. Just need to make time to complete the application is all. Don’t know what they will do with the registry. I want to be added before I retire that’s for sure

Guys need to realize that getting VA to step up is important for ALL vets.
You are not required to have 100% of your medical treatment there either.
You can go on the outside for care.
Not to mention if you collect the VA compensation your gun habit is getting paid for.
