I joined the Marine Corps in 76,went on my first combat tour in 78 on the columb border where,yes it did get bloody but i learned alot about stayen alive.we had alot of v.n. vets to learn from.Then 4 years later i was in the root doing what i liked to do best.On the west side.hizzbulla was the faction then ,we had a wild time on west side.contact out the ass.Any way i got out the Corps in 83 and thought i would get married and start a family.I had no clue about ptsd ,i dident know how to act.I was very violent,angry,depressed,not sleeping,a mouse pissing on cotton would wake me.drinking alot,well i guess you know how that ended.Well i went on like this till 07 and it all came down around me.I came apart ,Ptsd had me by the nuts bad.I left everything i owned and started walking,i filled my alice and started humpen out of there.Well i ended up in vegas a few months later and thats where i first made contact with the va and started getting help. I joined a combat vets program for a year and got meds and a shrink.It did and still is helping me.really its about me and me getten a grip.They know alot but its just book learning,they do the best they can i guess.Well i hope this gives you something. later
