Let me just say the San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs absolutely crushed it!
I submitted my son's DVS-40 form for the College Fee Waiver Program for Dependents of Veterans right at the close of business on a Friday (yes, I'm that guy). I figured we'd be lucky to hear back by the middle of the next week. But nope, by Monday at noon, per the email reaponse, it was DONE. Approved. Finalized. Ready to roll. That's less than one business day turnaround, folks. Government in action.
And can we talk about the staff for a second? I called with a few questions, expecting to get the usual "please hold for the next available" vibe, but instead I got friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful people who actually wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. This office simply sets a high standard of service to veterans.
San Bernardino County VA--thank you for making the process easy, efficient, and surprisingly enjoyable. You made this Marine vet one proud and very relieved dad. Now my son's off to college with tuition waived and zero stress.
If every California VA office operated like this one, the world would be a better place. read more
