military: DON'T send a Christmas card to our soldiers..... - 12/12/07 06:09 PM

It's a nice idea, really. I was about to send one myself, until my husband, currently stationed aboard the USS John C. Stennis, stopped me.

military: There is NO SUCH THING as a VA Inspector!!!! - 11/07/07 11:50 PM

Last night we taught another of our classes, "How to Buy a Home with Your VA Loan". The myths and misconceptions and just-plain-bad information surrounding this fantastic military benefit still amaze me. I've been doing this for years and it shouldn't surprise me, but it always does.
