Hi guys and girls. I'm an ex soldier and due to active services in1990, I lost 5 pals in a 1000 bomb.

i know that there is a lot of support  on DBG and its important to talk about issues, I'm not to sure how the moderators would negotiate this issue, whether ex soldiers suffering from PTSD, GAD would benefit from an area of DBG website where soldiers can talk to soldiers, ex soldiers talking to serving soldiers about mental health.

i wish that when I had my break down that there were people that could have helped me in some way but back then PTSD wasn't even recognised.

Any feedback would be very much appreciated, thank you kindly, johnny

 
Greetings brother - I did one hitch on active duty, 5-21 Infantry Regiment at Fort Ord, then the 7th Infantry Division (back when they were designated a "Light" Infantry Division) Long Range Surveillance Detachment (LRSD, again, at Fort Ord), as our British cousins say, I had two good little wars, Just Cause (Panama) while I was with the 7th's LRSD  in from '89 - '90 (so you and I may have chewed some of the same dirt), then recalled to active duty from the USAR for Kosovo from '99 - '01, attached to 1-26 Infantry Regiment.  I retired from the National Guard in '03, right before the current goat rope in the Middle East started - Too old to be of use in that kind of fight, I guess the Army figured.

Anyway, I'm a retired fellow vet with 23 years of combined Active / Guard service under my belt - The 40% VA disability check ain't much, and the retirement check damn sure ain't much, but Tricare is nice, as long as you don't go to a VA hospital - More brothers walk or are carried into those than walk or are carried out.  If you ever need to talk, give me a shout.

  4. Professor_ @ Professor_: Good morning Guys
  5. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  6. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  7. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
