I was in the Military Police Corp. I worked crashes etc in my workload. However, I was not in combat and did not deal with suicides or dead bodies. I injured my knee in a fall and my chain of command did not believe I was hurt, They force me to continue to run and use my legs till it spread into extreme shin splints they assigned people to run it out of me. They berated me verbally in front of other soldiers that were not only not in my chain of command but were lower rank than me. This happened for a long time till I broke and could take it anymore. I finally told them I would go to sick call every day. When my nurse practitioner told me she thought I was suffering from PTSD her told her that can't be I was never in combat. She thinks my PTSD could come from the emotional and physical abuse inflicted on me during the time my superiors tried to fix me. All I had wanted to be was a cop. They took that away from me physically and mentally. The changed my personality. I do not sleep well and really haven't since that time. I have memory problems. I have problems concentrating. My doctor put me on ADD meds because of my concentration issues. The thing is I have had these problems going back to that time frame. The nurse practitioner is right PTSD explains it all. I feared them then and even though I know they can't get me I still have nightmares that they come get me. I am angry at what they did to me. I had avoided the VA since going through my medical processing for my disability claim. I visited once in the last 19 years for a medical emergency. I finally go down there because of my accident and now I am an emotional wreck. It is hard to put into words what the did and the hopelessness, pain and despair I felt at the time. My best friend from the service tracked me down about four to year years ago looking to reconnect. I had gone through basic, AIT and got stationed with him. I couldn't deal with him and I didn't understand why. I understand now. The thing of it is I believe I would have been fine if they had believed me and gotten me a little help. I was betrayed by those that I had trained to protect and who were suppose to protect me.
