In this episode, Coach Marsha breaks down what discharge upgrades are, who qualifies, and how to begin the process. She also explains what the law says about when a discharge does—or doesn’t—bar a Veteran from VA benefits.

  • You Are Still a Veteran

    You Are Still a Veteran
    Oct 1 2025
    Too many Veterans feel forgotten or question if they “count” because of their discharge status, length of service, or unfinished training. In this first episode, Coach Marsha redefines what it means to be a Veteran and introduces the mission and vision of You Are Still a Veteran (YASAV). She explains how federal law defines “Veteran,” why stigma keeps so many silent, and why your service—whether 11 years or 11 weeks—still matters. Subscribe to this podcast, visit YouAreStillAVeteran.com, and share this episode with a fellow Veteran who needs encouragement.
