2.4 I work in the Agency's OI&T Dept. and the total lack of professional training and capability of the average IT staff member is appalling. Rather than foster training of the staff all work is completed to the capabilities of the lowest common denominator. Many industry standard practices are simply not implemented because they are identified as to advance for the average IT staff member to understand yet allow support. Several first line supervisors are not even familiar with the OSI model or how it relates to the job functions of the staff they manage.

3.2 I've worked at VA for nearly 15 years, in the areas of government contracting, real property, leasing, environmental law, and energy law. The work is constant, challenging, yet very rewarding. Serving Veterans is a great honor. I've worked with some of our nation's greatest leaders - folks with various backgrounds, accomplishments, and accolades within the public and private sectors. Learning and working with them has been invaluable.

The Department of Veterans Affairs can trace its roots back to 1636 when the Plymouth Colony promised to take care of injured soldiers who fought in the war with the Pequot Indians. The next major development took place in 1776 when the Continental Congress provided pensions for disabled soldiers. In 1811, veterans’ homes and medical facilities were created by the Federal Government.

The 19th Century saw benefits and pensions for the widows and dependents of veterans. After the civil war, veterans were treated for any medical condition whether it was related to military service or not. The formal Veterans Affairs department known today was created in 1930. Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs has 800 outpatient clinics, 152 hospitals, 35 group homes and 126 nursing home facilities. The Department is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
