Thanks JR, Not this course but one that is similar. Link: http://www.projectwelcomehometroops.org/ This was a 5 day course that was given at our Vet Center. Very, very effective, it's the same principle based on breathing techniques and meditation. It's not for everyone but you can...

Sarg, it looks as if you have given this a good hard look. Go for it!!! Being someone who has greatly benefited by "The Grace of God" not once but twice (prostate and esophageal cancer) also knows the doubt that acts as a hurdle with life's decisions. The constant projection that goes along...

Welcome RTO your in the right place. We don't have all the answers but we do read all the questions. Feel free to ask all you want. Ba

Happy New Year brother! Well, the good news is, you may not have moved the ball forward, but you didn't loose any ground either. That's not a bad thing in my book. You keep pushing brother don't give the beast a pause because it never takes a day off. Ba

Pentagon's looking? Thats like ripping a fart at the dinner table and asking *who did that?* They know EXACTILY where to find them - they just don't want to.

Welcome OIF2Vet, you're in the right place - take a knee! Most of the usual suspects have already weighed in already - thats a good thing (saves these old fingers for another rant). No need to thank anyone here at this forum - you remind each of us the same loneliness we all felt at one time...

Doc, It's progress! There are NO short cuts. I did/do the same thing. It's about getting the hell out of my own way. When I'm between my own EARS I'm in deep sh%t!! Fortunately, I was able to "fake it till ya make it" for a lot of years. I had to find what gave me a little peace without the...

Sludge ..... feel better Brother, the head stuff is the worst. Ol' Jar beat me to the punch, I use it all the time. Wife has a facial steamer I smear it around the end of the cone closest to the water well. If you can find one Vicks makes a pocket nasal inhaler that works great at night as...

Welcome Xander and thank you for your service. Anxiety sleep issues are common with PTSD. I assume that you have been diagnosed with PTSD, if not you should see someone at the VA. There are many resources for sleep disorders based on anxiety. Lots of stuff to read on this forum as well. Take a...

Jar, on any given day we're given a choice and WE get to choose. We've all been in JR's place (sometimes twice a day) - I can allow the beast kick me in the sack or I can beat it to the punch. As we say in AA this is "hurricane season" - so prepare for the worst and the good stuff will be that...

Dan, I think we all ask that same question to ourselves these days. Orwell's 1984 What was fiction, today.is reality. Control of Information and History The Party controls every source of information, managing and rewriting the content of all newspapers and histories for its own ends. The...

HB, Brother! I was 37 once, than 38, than 39, then 39, than 39, then 39, than 39, then 39, than 39, then 39. Ba

Hey Sludge you find it yet? Never got close to the Chiefs Mess in Subic, got thrown out of the Acey-Duecey once, I was made to be a citizen of beautiful Olongapo from that day forward. Between the binjo ditches and the monkey meat on a stick it's a wonder I survived two WestPacs and shore duty...

Welcome Kyles, another ol' sailor of the US variety here. Not a bad place to drop anchor it's a friendly port of call. Don't sell yourself short sister, you don't have to be Boots On Ground for the "beast" to have it's way with you. Most ships steam to avoid the mines - you steamed to find...

No crossed fingers mate - slows down trigger action. Gods speed mate and stay in touch. Ba

Not very COOL, just very old.... Theater made in Subic Bay RP 1960's

Not an expense JR, it's an investment in your peace of mind and body. It's a keeper JR - good luck! Ba

Wonderful story Black, I think those who have been to the abyss understand fully. I had an old friend that I knew from church that was a Korean vet as well - he too had a secret. Dave was a E5 Marine that survived Chosin and like the rest of us had story that needed to be heard. He wore a frown...

Welcome, Semper Fi! Someone steered you right brother. Lots of stuff to read so pull up a chair. Ba

Welcome Wally, you're among friendlies here pull up a chair. Welcome Home. Very GOOD advice! Selfish, not at all brother, these are benefits you are entitled to by the fact that like all of us here you wrote out a draft that looks similar to this. Take the time to do what you have to with...

Jar, JR.... You boys know of what you speak. (y) oooohhh NOOOOOOOO:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: The old 3 oil cans of yellow panther piss is something that you don't forget. Just as a FYI - they come up with a less volumetric cleanser 8oz pm and 8oz 4 hours before the procedure. Better than...

I see many posts regarding the ongoing issue with VA meds. We experiment with all sorts of combinations in search of the "Dream Cocktail" to give us a level of comfortability. I find myself gifted that over many years (not even knowing I had PTSD) of dealing with the *Beast* I unconsciously...

Welcome brother, Keep up the good fight they will "delay' deny and hope you will die" so strap yourself in for the ride of a lifetime for it just may take that long. You'll grow old waiting for the VA. I've been service connected since 2009 and they just decided my PTSD claim for retro. Had...

Broke bread, broke wind and shared a bunker and a 4-holer with the 9th MEB in April of 1965. They are a *Few Good Men* - they gained the respect of this *Swab Jockey*. Semper Fi Ba FMF Danang RVN 1965-66

JR, be careful, truth is now the new hate speech. Bob is on a PR tour promoting this ICARE thingy. A bit like his boss - all that you WANT to hear without any substance. If you want to hear the bull (opps) full story checkout the 4 page fluff piece in the VAngaurd. I'm not sure sold on it...
