Welcome to the site. Anthony (this sites owner) also runs a sister site for veterans who served in a war zone and have ptsd. Combat PTSD Forum <--- Link.

As you know, you have to have been there to understand.

The site has a lot of good peeps. It' usually very supportive, often funny, and easily sidetracked offtopic, but a very nice place to learn and share.

I use both this and the other site, depending on aplicability of what I'm writing about.

I dont mind at all. I was in the United States Army.

Ah, cool. I used to know a few female transport drivers back in the day, but they were all Royal Logistics Corps.

when you were in afgan ,was it hard to sleep ?i know it sounds like a dum question..i was wondering..sleep deprivation sucks,it can really make your body age fast..i drive trucks as a longshore worker,i found that listening to meditation music helps a lot..i feel dead .do you ever feel that way?like your flesh body is alive but your soul and spirt left your body?i hope you feel better ..i am thankful for your service
