The only thing I've really been able to find are ebay listings

I have a buttload of participation awards too. You know how it goes.

@Friday These i know what they are. and my ranks i outgrew while in iraq. I was a corporal when i got back.

@Friday SFE V TEAM. stands for Special Forces Engineering Victory Team. You ever see anything like this before? Trying to figure out what it is.

The dumbest thing of all? I was a mechanic in the national guard. Doing things I shouldn't have been doing. I threw all my medals away when I got home. My mom dug what she could find out of the trash. Hey maybe you know what this is. Lemme find the picture my mom set me of one of my medals one sec.

Thanks Friday. I hope it doesnt come to that but theyve been pretty good so far. Just a bit slow. I have my dd 214s Its just the detachment stuff i want and they said in the email they escalated it to the army because they dont have the authority to make a determination. Whatever that means so...

They are helping me. At least I think they are. It just takes time. I didn't ask for help until recently because I shut down and got into some legal troubles over money and contempt charges. I pretend to be tougher than I am and thats on me. That and avoidance.

@Weemie Sorry man im probably not helping you at all.

@Weemie And now youre broken and most of them probably have pensions. Make it make sense.

@Weemie You know, if they did their jobs. Your life could have been so different. I hate it.

This pisses me off far more than my own trauma. I only have three words to describe it. Woodchippers, feet first.

There was a little boy that used to come in for medical treatment for burns over most of his body. The official story was an accidental grease fire. But the interpreters told us what really happened. The boys father owed the local warlord money. So the lit him up with gasoline for not paying...

Ieds were every where in iraq. And car bombs. After I fell out they sent me back to the motor pool. I was a mechanic afterall. Some things happened and I got assigned as security at the pow camp guarding insurgent amputees for about a month. An ied killed a bunch of people at my old area and I...

Ramble away brother. Say what you need to say. Just be respectful.

With women i fawn or flee. With prolonged abuse I dissociate mentally. I think that is the right term. Escapism, irritability. Never been a woman beater. I'm definitely hard to deal with and even when my kids mom used to hit me I never got violent or angry. I guess I never really felt threatened...

I struggle with this alot. Alot alot. Professionals are the worst. You can train a monkey to be a professional light bulb screwer inner but that does it make them the smartest person in the room or even correct. And condescension is usually accompanied with a dismissive attitude. Its like the...

I have no compulsion for violence. In the moment maybe if i feel threatened. But even in video games i always gravitated to group based mmos. When i was a kid i played shooters. I will definitely get aggressive if i feel like an authority figure isnt handling the situation fairly or if you give...

I have issues with my memories. But I've contacted my co in theater. Which unlocked some memories and sent me back into full blown ptsd for weeks. I also had my va therapist contact him because after I remembered exactly who he was I couldn't bear the shame knowing I fell out after about a 11 or...

I sent a a request to the va for decorations I received during my deployment. I got an email a couple minutes ago saying that they don't have authority to make the determination for the records requested and have referred my request to the army. What does it mean? Was it classified? So many...

Thank you. April you care. Thats important to your conquest of perfection. Maybe its so hard because in a lot of ways you already are?

I volunteered for deployment. Was crossleveled into a deploying unit. Spent 3 or 4 months mobilizing and preparing to push into theater. We got to ft Irwin California. And I was transfered again into an advanced security detail. We were a bunch of random mos's, I was a heavy wheeled diesel...

@cuppanina Sorry i hijacked your thread to argue with a moderator. I will see my self out.

This is insulting and passive aggressive and deflecting from the question asked. All of my suggestions have been peaceful suggestions and I would like to know which suggestion specifically I made is wrong. Maybe I got something wrong and I can fix it. If I wanted passive aggressiveness and...
