Question

Well this old Marine Vietnam combat veteran had the C&P today for PTSD, Dr. seemed pleasent, only asked about one stressor incident the normal "what happened". Asked about enemy combatants whether mostly VC or NVA, how they were dressed and what type of weapons they used, told him VC dressed in black pajamas and carried either an SKS or AK47 or whatever they had available. He talked to my wife about the nightmares and the other problems like always vigilant, jumpy, grumpy etc. Asked how long we have been married, told him since 2001 but wife knew me when I came back from Vietnam so he really started asking her about my mental then and now, she told him the only difference is the PTSD "ruined his life and he is older" but he still has the very same problems. He asked about work history, told him have had 10 different jobs in the last 5 years because I keep getting fired due to "challenging my superiors" Session only lasted 40 minutes, when it was over he shook my hand and stated "Thank you for your service to your Country". Guess we'll see where it goes from here!!

"Guess we'll see how it goes from here." I've heard that one before from an examiner. Next thing I knew he lied about my treatment history. Good luck on yours though and the sooner you get a copy of your exam the better.

gotta think positive though.
