About me:

My name is Clayton Simms. I am a Christian, husband to my beautiful wife and father of 4.

I served in the US Marine Corps for 10 years.

2011 - 2015: Infantry

2015 - 2019: Psychological Operations and Information Operations Planner

2019 - 2021: Reserve PSYOP/IO

In 2019 I decided to leave the Marine Corps. I found myself in an extremely disappointing Transition Readiness Seminar (or Transition Assistance Program). The Accredited VSO was clueless and left all of us clueless. That began my journey to learn 38 CFR and M21-1 where I now take that knowledge to help veterans understand their evidence, and how to structure their evidence when submitting for VA disability compensation. In 2026, after leaving the federal government, I now work under an Accredited Claims Agent (38 CFR 14.630) under the Borne Accredited Claims banner.

I work A LOT here on YouTube and I am a bi-vocational Youth Pastor at my local church.
