Update: Wednesday, January 28

Here is my last email to CSM Collins:

Dear CSM Collins,

Michael called you last Wednesday in regards to his INCAP extension and his medical documentation from Ft. Sill. Since we haven't heard back from you, I thought I would email you to check in and see if you found out anything.

Also, do you think that if I contacted Congressman Mike Ross he could help get the ball rolling on all this? My store is in Prescott and his office is about three blocks away, so it wouldn't be a problem at all. Just an idea, I really don't know what else to do. Maybe Michael should also contact the people he saw while at Ft. Sill to see if there is a problem with his paperwork or something. I know you said it's the norm for them to be so slow with the paperwork, it just seems like three months is long enough.

Michael spoke with Mrs. O'Connell also, to see if we needed to go ahead and start work on another extension since the one we are waiting on only covers through March 31 and at the rate we are going, all of this will probably not be finalized by then. She said we should, but that she would need the paperwork from the VA again.

Just so you know exactly where we are on pay, Michael was paid December 15, 2008 for September. So we are waiting on the extension to be approved in order to be paid for October, November and December (and January soon enough). Some of our January bills are now past due, as I paid what was past due then (that the MWR loan didn't cover) with the check in December.

Thank you for your time,
Brie'Anne Griffin
