Hey Panda

Good luck with all that you're dealing with. You've got Jimmy on your team now and I know that he's got your 6. My thoughts and best wishes are with you Mate.

Wagon, I am not going to burr up, but think about it.

Over the last 10 years with this war on terror happening, we have had veterans returning blown up, shot, and with psychological problems, its been all over the newspapers. Yet, still we have thousands of people joining to fight for their country. They knew, and if they didn't then they should have researched it like any job you would apply for, f*ck my step daughter is trying for the Defence Force Academy and she is researching all types of shit.
So if they sign up and have a bad experience, then boo hoo. Check out how many people there are, who served for more than 10 years, yet still complain. They must have enjoyed it at some time.

And as I stated before, I f*cking hated the Army after they kicked me out, but over a few years I came to understand that it was not them at all, they don't provide benefits, or pay pensions, what more could they do, cut your lawn??
 
Hell yeah. I remember the chin up bars outside everyone's room at recruit training. You were not allowed to go to a meal without X amount of situps, and X amount of chin ups.

Tehy probably get used for hanging damp combats on these days Jimmy, seeing as your no longer allowed to shout, beast or Humiliate recruits anymore.
 
That's about the size of it. Otherwise they get on their mobiles, which they are allowed to use after 9 pm and ring there mothers.

When I used to instruct and the training school, there were two methods for individual punishment. It was either straight away, in their face in front of the whole course, or, you kicked everyone out bar the one in the shit, slammed the door, locked it, then screamed blue murder in their face so everyone could hear.
If it was a group punishment, I either took time off them by making them come back after hours, or game the group a punishment on the spot, like push ups, sit ups, or a run around the whole building. That got their blood moving.
 
I heard on the News on BFBS this morning that there are recruits at some army college are looking into a court case, because they got beasted ?

What the hell happend in the world. How the hell are they supposed to function in theatre when it is a coochy f*cking coo in training?

I just don`t get it.
 
Panda,
Good days will come brother!

Sounds like you have things in check, and by that I mean you are on top of what needs to be done.
That is very important cause you know like I know that letting little things slip and slide can lead to a hill of stress that, added to PTSD... can cause a shit storm.

I know your hurting inside dude... it sounds like things with your family have really hit a blow.
And it may make you feel alone but your not ok.

If you know of any support groups or organizations that are run by ex military... whether its dealing with PTSD or any other matter... try reaching out. It's a very informal way of dealing with the rigors that the military can throw at you. Also it gives you a foothold for when you transition out. And yes, talk to the Padre... God loves Padres.

Just dont wall yourself up because you may feel abandoned. Hey this may be a computer your are in front of but on the other end are real ppl just like you. Suffering similar circumstances JUST LIKE YOU. And saying that... we are here for you, ok.

JUst remember that you are in the drivers seat, proverbial drivers seat that is.(sorry just a bit of humour) And coming clean and out in the open allows us to help and possibly guide you in a positive direction. Just keep talking and keep us informed.

Cheers!
