DESCRIPTION
The Marine Corps has changed the way in which medical records are processed before arriving at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Recent statistics have shown that only a very small percentage of treatment records of Marines that have separated or retired from the Reserve Component have reached the VA. We must do better, and it starts with leadership.

LEADERSHIP
* As of March 2015
Calendar Year 2014
Commander, Marine Forces Reserve
One of our three force objectives is to enforce standards and adhere to values. How well we perform our individual and collective tasks in winning our nation’s battles and staying ready and relevant depends directly on how well we enforce standards and adhere to our enduring values. One of those enduring values is keeping the faith with those that have separated or retired from our ranks.
The Marine Corps has changed the way in which medical records are processed before arriving at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Recent statistics have shown that only a very small percentage of treatment records of Marines that have separated or retired from the Reserve Component have reached the VA. We must do better, and it starts with leadership.
Leaders, I need you to be aware of this process and ensure that your Marines’ records are being processed correctly. Individual Marines, I need you to also take accountability for yourself and take the initiative to make sure your records are being processed correctly. Engaged leadership is the number one way we will overcome this challenge and help keep the faith with those Marines that have retired or separated from our ranks. Semper Fidelis
