Very nice Sludge, most of those tunes were played after I left in 66. I know they were popular in the bars and radio - me, I've been stuck in the 40/50's. I just never got into the war music. Ba

SD, you hang tough brother! Very simply I had to surrender to WIN (What' Important Next) as well. Once I got out of my own way and was able to disagree but DO IT anyway (I'm not the medical professional) and it would all go well. AO has us buy the short hairs SD, the anxiety of the cancer with...

Welcome Sup, the Beast (PTSD) got you by the short hairs brother. The Vik pretty much sums up my take as well. You have too much on the table to fold your cards just yet - don't let the Beast call! Ba

Michael, welcome, can't add to what has been already said. Just like to echo what Sarg had to share: Been exactly where are a long time ago - put the booze behind me as well. Things did not get better but got manageable. Manageable enough to get over *the f*ck-it's* and get some help. Your on...

Welcome brother! Doc's are special folks. Sometimes appreciated by his fellow swab jockeys - always revered by the USMC grunt. Semper Fi, take a knee your behind the wire here. That attitude will go along way when dealing with the beast. Lot of folks here from your war all dealing with life...

Woodman, the VVA is running town hall meetings across the country. They are actually taking claims for Gr children and GGr kids for future consideration. I'm sure your up on it but just the same below is a link with the information. Link Removed Semper Fi, Ba

Woody, It sucks brother, but you have to put them together. They (Gov) are not going to make it easy. They are not about you - it's all CYA. Just had a Agent Orange town hall meeting here in NJ a week ago. It was done by the VVA and had a lot of good information. The VA is still in denial...

The f*cking Lonliness.......... Welcome Brother, we can't solve your issues but we can listen. Take a knee, your among friendlies here. Lots of folks here have issues with Meds, VA and weed. Your not alone in that arena - are you doing any therapy? Talking with other combat Vets is critical...

There is always a light on here for you!

Excellent! I know brother, I know, the relief you feel. For me, Prostate cancer, Esophageal cancer and the AO most likely has something else to deal before it's all said and done. On top of that, the Beast pee's in my corn flakes each time I feel I'm out of the woods. Ba

Welcome Link Removed! Take a knee brother your among friendlies here. That, my friend, is probably was the hardiest decision for me as well. I too went the DUI/Jail route - over a 40+ year period. I'm sure you'd agree that none of it changed a dam thing. I put the plug in the jug some 25+...

Welcome Doc, take a knee! You guy's are field magicians - what you do with a field dressing half the Dr's with degrees couldn't hold a candle too. Your moving forward - that's progress. We're here to lean on when needed. Me too, it was the only game in town 40+ years ago. Trust me, it's...

Good Luck Sludge! You'll do just fine. It could be like going into the belly of *The Beast* or nothing alt all - depending the person doing the C&P. I have been SC for PTSD for 5+ years. My VSO recently applied for IU and that triggered a re-evaluation for several of issues. Of course PTSD was...

Ditto SD, ditto. Ba

Welcome brother, if there is an answer to your situation you'll find it here. Exhausted and Angry, Humm, know it well. Well, 22 months could be a lifetime when you're carrying the *beast*. Jimmy said what I had in mind get into the stealth mode and find a place to ride it out. So, take a knee...

The Marine knows of what speakes! ooh-rah Ba

Hi Wagon, the FOIA was BS from day one. I tried for years to substantiate a claim and needed to get the report on an accident in Nam. They danced and danced but still no answers. Eventually a fellow vet who knows how to use the system managed to get the DD1300 casualty report. As usual they will...

Excellent Jimmy, excellent! Ba

Welcome Brother! There they go again, *stable*, assholes! If they can't create a new acronym for your issues, the VA will hit you with a *one word* diagnosis. You're on the right track and you are NOT ALONE!!! Can I assume that the *mental health counseling* you refer to was of the VAMC type...

No help here Sludge, two Oxy, then more and I'm looking for bail money. Old AA sponsor said "suck-em up cupcake" or find a comfortable dumpster to get out of the weather. Ba
