In this case, alcoholism is considered willful misconduct, thus preventing an alcoholic veteran from obtaining an extension on the 10 years. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2322-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2322-1 Fri, 11 Dec 1987 00:00:00 GMT
