Collebo is a place that was
envisioned while I was sitting in
Afghanistan. Anyone
that has been deployed, knows how
hard it may be to get a morale call,
or to even
have internet that is faster than a
dial-up connection. Because of this,
going to 20 different sites becomes
very difficult and staying in
contact with our loved ones, or our
friends becomes very difficult and
puts added stresses on our
relationships with the people in our
lives in an already very stressful
environment. I decided to do
something about it.

The Department of Defense's
Compensation and Benefits Handbook
for Seriously Ill and Injured
Members of the Armed Forces provides
service members and their family's
comprehensive information on what
they would be entitled to upon
separation or retirement as a result
of serious injury or illness. The
handbook was created by the
Department of Defense (DOD) and
compiled in cooperation with the
Departments of Veterans Affairs,
Labor, Health and Human Services,
and Education and the Social
Security Administration. It was
transitioned into app format by the
U.S. Army's Combined Arms Support
Command's (CASCOM) SCoE Mobile Team.

Veterans Medical Log - I've heard
that if you want to get a fair
rating from the Veteran's
Administration you have to do two
things. Visit your doctor regularly
and provide accurate information
about your medical condition.
Veteran's Log makes it easy to track
your medical conditions. Just input
the medical conditions you want to
track on the“Conditions tab. Then
tap the“Add Entry tab and tap a
medical condition to add a log
entry. Tap on the things that
happened that day, then tap save. If
an items does not apply to you
personally, just don't tap it.
An example would be “Missed Work” if
you were retired.
