Ted,
These laws are a joke. There is not one federal agency alive that will comply with this law and, if the case goes to court, a judge will rule in favor of the agency every time. The whole system is crooked and has been for years. I had WWII vets tell me about trying to get their jobs back after WWII. They had one hell of a time. The MSPB rules 95 percent of the time in the agency's favor. That is like saying the vets are liars 95 percent of the time. This government really screwed the Vietnam veteran and you are correct about the Army. The Corps of Engineers are excellent at breaking the law and getting away with it. They are rotten to the core, so to speak. -

Charlie,
You are so absolutely correct. I even filed a compliant with DOL, (actually twice, guess I'm a slow learner), about the Army's hiring practices. By the time they give me a non-answer, it was too late to do anything.

Get ready folks, here it comes - another "smoke and mirrors" regulation, all designed to keep the little game going. You can bet right now that federal agencies already have their lawyers, HR people, supervisors and agency directors searching for ways to get around these regulations with the infamous words "we didn't do anything wrong." All they need is a judge to see things their way and they got it made. This is the government folks. They have been lying to vets about these so-called vets preference laws so long, they actually believe they work. They know most vets don't have money to hire lawyers. As one who has been there, and seen their manipulations at work, it isn't hard to understand. OPM, the Department of Labor and others have done nothing except blow smoke to vets. These rules will be ignored and agency directors and others will receive huge pay raises for doing it. What a joke on the veterans who serve this country.
