Hmmm... the first time I went to the VA I simply took my DD214 with me to
prove my veteran status, filled out the paperwork, and was in to see a
doctor within the hour.


Depending on the day of the week space available care at the Pensacola VA
Outpatient Clinic may be as long as 5 hours but is usually less than 2 in my
experience.


Please not my usage of "first VA doctor visit" meaning newly classified
disabled vets having to wait long periods of time for their _FIRST_
visit.
