The pool has standing water, with the side vent throwing water out. The "breathing" is a bit on the quiet side. |

Large pool in front very dark, water level has dropped maybe a foot, and no splashes are falling in the pool. Still spritzing out the back. Huffing from side hole diminished in volume but still there. |

8/31/1982 Veteran was observed continually by various geyser gazers from 0830. Shortly after 1130, the pool to the east, adjacent to Veteran, began filling. By 1400 it was full, as was Veteran’s pool. No eruptions were seen until 1823. David Leeking |

06/18/1980 -Veteran Geyser – center and left pools partially filled the center pool’s vent has closed its right outlet since my June 16th observation.
The activity now centers in the top vent and the newly filled left vent. |

07/13/1979 NOTE Veteran’s pool was filled with aqua water about 4” above the top of the side hole when I arrived about 0900. The pool would gradually fill about two more inches, the geyser vent would do some very minor splashing, then all would go quiet and the pool would subside about 2”. I watched this cycle about 3 times until 0915 but the geyser never erupted nor did the pool drain completely. {I watched it same thing at 1030 – Helen} |

08/20/1977 At 0845 this morning Veteran was full of water like it gets during an eruption but was not splashing and churning like it normally does. Judging from the dry rocks and lack of spray marks on the trail, it has not had a major eruption for some time. The water level continued to rise but still no eruption. |

08/18/1976 {Full log entry log}
Watched Veteran in one of its frenzies of activity from 8:00-8:20
0802 recently erupted
0804 began minor splashing
0805 began minor splashing from “main” vent
0805 major eruption began – all 3 vents active. Lasted 45 sec.
Activity declined, sloshing
0807 minor activity began again – only main vent active
0808 major eruption – very powerful last 1:04
Activity declined, sloshing heard
0811 major eruption begins
0812 major eruption, lasting about 1:11
Activity fades, geyser quiet a little longer now
0815 minor eruption
0816 major eruption, last ~40 sec
0817 – 0819 minor eruption
0820 activity fades.
All major eruptions were preceded by 20 sec to a minute of minor play. Major eruptions reached heights of as much as 7’ & shot across sinter as far as 15’. Side vent was active but sprays barely could be seen. Was rained away at 0825, when the geyser seemed to be finishing its entire display. |

05/28/1976 Veteran behaving strangely from ~ 1040 to 1115.
1040 finished eruption
1042 d=1m09s, 1045 d=1m01s, 1048 d=1m03s, 1051 d=56s, 1054 d=54s, 1058 d=1m03s, 1102 d=55s (side vent didn’t activate), 1104 d=1m10s (wasn’t so powerful), 1107 d=1m20s, 1110 d=1m27s
There was a great deal of agitation & splashing out of all vents between recorded eruptions. However, activity recorded was a steady, continuous eruption for the durations noted. Checked it after Echinus’ eruption, but it had settled down. |

Veteran is behaving in an astonishing manner! Erupted six (6) times between 10:09 a.m. and 10:35 a.m.. Approximate intervals – three minutes. Erupted each time the adjacent pool drained back into it. Evidence of other eruptions not witnessed between 9:50 and 10:09.
Each eruption a major one, hurling water as far as the grass and lodgepoles on the far side of the run-off channel; water thrown on the trail through the subsidiary vent pointing at the trail. |

04/11/1973 Veteran Observations ended at 3:23 ~ 18 minutes without an eruption Since it is 20 minutes between 2:10 and 2:30 it is quite possible that there were 2 eruptions during that time interval, 4 might have been between 1222 and 1253, 7 or 8 between 1258 and 2:10 if the average interval remained unchanged. Water was shot in 3 directions from 3 vents, the maximum being 36 feet (horizontal) from the main vent (measured)( & 15 feet vertically (estimated). |

It appears that Veteran, The Dog’s Leg, & the new fissure geyser to the NW and Corporal Geyser are all interconnected.
At 3:31 an increase of steam from Veteran was accompanied by a rise in water level with bubbling & overflow from Corporal followed by a drop in water level in The Dog’s Leg and an eruption of the new fissure geyser. This was in turn immediately followed by a drop in the pool level in Corporal & a rise in The Dog’s Leg. |
