Pure, good to see you back again. Looks as if you have made some headway and still have a way to go. Here is where you'll have to "suck it up" as the waiting will work at you 24/7. I'm not sure if as active military the Vet Centers can see you - best bet is to give them a call. Good luck we're...

Marine0811 - The name of the game is deny, delay until they die. Two separate claims I doubt it. But in dealing with the VA.... all is possible If your VSO is worth his/her salt the denial should be followed up with a NOD (notice of disagreement) if properly stated and supported with another...

Hey Raven, call me when you get a NYS lic.- I have a co-op in the Bronx thats in need of a push. Ah-Ha! The fine art of disguise, those finely honed defense mechanisms mastered by the mentally ill and alcoholics. When needed I would call upon "team chameleon" (in today vernacular) either...

Welcome Zack - jeezze ya said a mouthful!!! First off, get off the couch and put the plug in the jug! As medical professional you should know that your meds with the booze are not the solution. I'm no f*cking doctor just an old Nam vet that walked that path for almost 40 years. Trust me "doc"...

Bingo Jar! There is no medal that will remove the cancers from me or the other veterans who suffer from Agent Orange related issues. Those veterans everyday await the other shoe to drop and see the effects in the children of their children. My wife and I were never able to have children. Many...

Welcome Marine OOHRAH! Old Nam Fart here - your in the right place, like Jimmy said, keep an open mind on the therapy thing. Trust me-it works! Your a warrior and you have a wound that leaves no noticable scar but is as fatal as the worst you ever witnessed if left untreated. Hook up with a Vet...

Welcome TDH, Semper Fi! Thank you for your service, it's good to see you made it back. Lots of good information here so pull up a chair and make yourself at home. Did some self medicating myself for about 25 years - been of the sauce since 89 - trust me "it won't fix anything" just postpones...

ODG, Thats not a bad thing, it is the results of a lot of time spent doing what was necessary to get through a lot pain for a long period of time. Old, maybe, I like to call it seasoned. I can only look back at the wisdom of "old f*cks" that I chose to ignore because I had all the answers...

Welcome Murph.... Good to see you made it back. Pull up a chair and join the conversation. Born and raised in NY (Bronx) myself probably before LI was discovered(LOL). This old squid of the Nam era spent time attatched to 9th MEB back in the day. OOHRAH...... Semper Fi Ba PS.... A belated...
