I got a reply to one of my posts. It was a retired Army man, who was struggling. He has serious PTSD. The guy has overwhelming responsibilities, plus dealing with many other health issues.
Got to be very honored that he send me this message. I can now connect with him and be his “buddy.” We will share our feelings, and try to not cause problems. Just be a friend to talk to and support.

This can happen to so many veterans. The transition is too much sometimes. What do I do now?…. is what many ask.
This question has faced many of you. You get out and you feel isolated, lost and bewildered.
I have talked to so many veterans that are fighting some sort of problems. Many are just clinging too long to their military routine. They can only operate with some kind of structure. This sometimes alienates them from the rest of their family.
The answer to this is not easy. First of all get help. The VA has programs to help you transend to civilian life. They have medications to help with your PTSD, or other ailments you may have.
It will also take some work on your part. Do not hide and let the dark side overcome you. Stand strong and fight back.
You are more than worth it. Your family is worth it. They will support you and help you through your storms.

I am trying to get my second COVID shot. I am scheduled to have it this Thursday. I am hearing that they run out on some days. I am hoping since I and scheduled to have my shot early in the day that I will be oK.
The National Guard is helping with the shots. They are so courteous and kind. They have a great “Bedside manners.”
I still can see the young PFC who pulled me out of a big line to get my first shot. He was a guardian angel. I think it was because I had my Army hat on. It was brothers helping brothers.

I am hearing more and more, how our new president could care less for the military.
The latest report says that he made the National Guard sleep in a parking lot with only one bathroom.
There is no respect happening since we changed leadership.
