Because I certainly know that a ship navigating within 12 miles of land takes a position report more than 3 times a day.

a veteran will have to submit a new claim under----

Do we really need to quibble over whether they are using an old form or a new form or having them resubmit forms multiple times.

Basically you are putting it back in the veteran's lap because they submitted the wrong form and they do not know any better?

Disappointingly, the Under Secretary declined to attend and did not give a reason for his inability to attend.

They should be receiving a letter in the mail.

I would like to see that as soon as possible.

So, the taxpayers have made a good investment to currently have 6 carriers on the east coast...

I introduced a bill, H.R. 2481 which was incorporated in the Secure Act which passed almost unanimously in the House

So, is there an actual schedule?

So, in that 700 or so launches and recoveries, did we meet the operational design requirements for successful launches and recoveries, or I believe there was a higher than anticipated failure rate during that first set of testing, and what…

Right, but that only goes from the flight deck to the hangar bay. You are still not putting anything in or out of the magazines.

Well, then why do we have six carriers sitting in Norfolk that can't deploy?

I don't find that to be too unique over the class of ships.

Well, you say unique work. I visited the shipyard myself.

I would agree with you there.

Okay, so it is going to deploy on time? What is on time? It should have already deployed by now, right?

I just truly don't feel like this is a great investment as a taxpayer, $13 billion in a ship that is going to deploy 6 years past its original design timeline.

So, we were supposed to, by OFRP, develop a new surge capability, but that doesn't seem to be the case...

So then if you are saying that only 30 percent complete on time...

And my last question is, and maybe Admiral Moore since you have a lot of history with this program going back to 2011 as PEO Carriers, when was the ship originally planned to deploy when construction started?

It defies logic, science, and compassion that marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug alongside heroin.

Well, thank you for sharing that. I recall going through the process of separating and this evaluation process myself.

Great. Well, we will look forward to being able to see the results of those quality reviews.

I would also like for you to address issues raised by veterans who State that they have attended VA contract exams in places that didn't really seem appropriate for exams, such as a nail salon or behind a sandwich shop.
