HEY DUSTIN!
Hey Dustin! Chief Experience Officer Dustin Thompson responds to Veterans questions, inquiries or just plain scuttlebutt.
I miss live events. When will you have an in-person event? Now that we are in Code Green, we will have more in-person events. The first one was our VRC Grand Opening on March 7. We hosted our first Veteran Social Connection in three years on Friday, March 31! See photos on page. 38. I have some time on my hands and lots of ideas to improve the VA. Can I sit in on your meetings? We have many opportunities for Veterans to have a voice in our facility. We have a Veteran Experience Council which has several committees, like Veteran Social Connection, Veteran VIP, Veteran Appreciation, Women Veteran, Frequent Shopper, and a host of projects that need Veteran representation. If you’re interested, please contact our Veteran Experience Officer, Anthony Brown or our Veteran Experience Specialist, Kerri Towles at VHALONExperienceOffice@va.gov or 562-826-8000, ext. 6678.
My bulldog Percy doesn’t bite people and I take him everywhere. Can I bring him to campus? I'm sure Percy is a great dog, but unless Percy is a Service Dog that has been trained to provide a service for you, you can't bring him to campus. Unfortunately, emotional support animals are not recognized as Service Animals by the federal government. They are considered pets. You are not allowed to bring pets to campus.
What are you doing about parking?
See article on page 12.
Is the Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays only for employees?
No, anyone can buy the products offered by our vendor, Bruce’s Produce.
Are you going to bring back Veterans Orientation?
Do you have free haircuts?
Yes. This spring. Look out for information soon.
We don’t, but we do have a Hair Salon/Barber Shop on campus where both men and women can get their hair cut, in the hallway of Building 2 near the Credit Union. The hours are 8:00 am – 3:00 pm Monday – Friday (closed on Federal Holidays).
