    How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

    Today has been an "ok" day. I stayed home with the kids today while my wife did the errands. I had my neighbor over for about an hour, just talkin. He was deployed to one of our sister battalions in Iraq and has been diagnosed w/ PTSD as well. We chatted about missions, bad days we had over...

    OIF Vet Here - PTSD From Operations

    I know I haven't written in a day or two but we've been terribly busy clearing post and all. It is very frustrating. Here is a log from my personal journal yesterday. July 25th 07 Today is not going good at all. We got the kids up this morning and they were cranky, but we had to get moving to...

    Yes, me and my wife were looking at that earlier. I do thank you for putting that together. Seeing that I am getting out permanently here within the next month or so, I am referring my mother and brothers and sister to the site to get more of a feel for it, since I don't know how to explain it...

    I am still on Post at the moment. They have done a MEB on me, and it came back that I will be retired, with a rating of 30%. So now I am waiting on orders to get released. To me everything is a stressor; seeing the Uniform, seeing a new private w/o a combat patch, or a high ranking officer...

    Feeling So Incredibly Alone

    I know exactly how you feel. Not only did it extend to my real-close friends that I spent the year with in Iraq, but it's my immediate family as well. It is hard-so hard to try and explain to my son why Daddy doesn't wanna go outside with him. But I am trying. I just take it one day at a...

    It's interesting that you say Hodge, cause while I was on R&R back home, my Uncle was in. He retired from the Army a few years ago, and told me "I wish I was the one going Nephew...." Your post sparked a good memory of him to me, and I thank you.

    OIF Vet Here - PTSD From Operations

    When I hear people say "Thank you", a sense of pride swells up in my chest. I served in the Marine Corps in 97-01, then got out. Once 9-11 hit, I went into the U.S Army,served in Iraq, and am getting "retired" because of my severe Chronic PTSD. The reason why I joined the Army after 9-11...

    Hello all. I returned from Iraq in Nov, after being on the gun truck platoon and stationed in Baghdad. We conducted various missions all over, and I was the lead truck in the convoys all year. Needless to say, I am a wreck. In March, I went to see the doc and they diagnosed me with PTSD. I...
