Hi, My name is Kevin. I was in the Army active duty till last year when I got out on an OTH discharge which in some ways I deserved for my actions. But at the same time I feel that the things that happened could have been avoided if I had had proper help dealing with the things that were going on after being back from Iraq. I have injuries that I sustained while being in a infantry unit in Iraq along with several other problems. I went to Iraq fresh from AIT and as soon as we returned It seemed as though everyone I fought with went elsewhere. And none of the PA's seemed to help with me my injuries other than ibuprofen and "i am not sure shrugs." I got pretty depressed and made some very bad decisions with no one who cared enough around to guide me in the right direction. To be honest I was completely terrified of being in the field or returning to Iraq. Now I have several problems, the most of which my right hand is pretty messed up especially the pinky. And cant afford reconstructive surgery. I tried to file my compensation packet. and now they have sent me a letter saying that my service is not honorable for VA purposes, and that if I disagree with this I need to write them a "letter of Disagreement" That is where I am at a loss of what this letter needs to include and etc. Any help at all is more than I have now. Thank you so much for you time and answers. K. Caywood

Okay, i have an appointment with the local VA this morning. I am going to go check them out and see what help they can be to me. If not then I am definitely going to follow up with the gentleman who emailed me offering his help. Thank you all.
