In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes U.S. Army Veteran Jane Babcock, a retired Sergeant First Class and former nationally accredited County Veterans Service Officer (CVSO) who has spent her life serving those who served.
Jane’s military career spans more than 21 years, holding five MOSs, serving on Active Duty, Army Reserve, and completing multiple periods of mobilized service—earning her four DD-214s. Her experience includes working in SCIF environments, supporting underwater acoustic systems development, and serving both on land and at sea.
After retiring in 2004 due to non-combat injuries—during a time when transition programs like TAPS didn’t exist—Jane faced firsthand the gaps in veteran transition awareness. She was never informed about a Medical Board or VA care options. That experience became fuel for her mission.
As a CVSO, Jane went on to file well over 1,000 VA disability claims, helping veterans navigate a system she knows intimately—both professionally and personally. Today, she continues reaching and teaching veterans about the benefits they earned through service.
This episode is a must-watch for veterans, families, advocates, and anyone who wants to understand the realities of transition, VA benefits, and why informed advocacy saves lives.
