ptsd Ptsd The Effects Or Rvn/drill Sergeant Duty/reruiting Duty

[sgmdae]

I went from 18 year old boy to becoming a man and combat Veteran In RVN, where I had to lead, make decisions, that cause death to the enemy and brothers of my unit. At nineteen I become a Drill Sergeant that trained 95% to go to the War Zone.

At 21, I became a Army Recruiter that recruited primarily for RVN, I sold infantry, my recruits went to WAR. My assignments from 1966 to 1981, were highly stressful and intense. The three types of assignments were 101 ABN infantry, RVN, RVN, DS duty, Recruting duty and Drill Sergeant and again Recriting duty. Since my assignments my positions in Army and now as a civilian have seem meaningless. Whats your advice, I had many jobs, and move at the first opportunity. I find things wrong in the job and the people I work around

I am in the process, I trying to capture all the causes, I have stressor from RVN, Trainee dying in my platoon, and peole that recruited not coming home. I have tried to get my first mental health appointment since August. But because I move so much to work, I can't seem to get that first appointment. Thinking about this has been so stressful, new situations keep coming back

I remeber dening God when Donald Green was killed. I remeber out loud saying there is no God, he would not let things like this happen. Madness and revenge entered my heart on that day. Prior a prayer, a child hood preacher and etc.

But I feel the PTSD, started beforing going RVN, waiting to Go RVN, because I was 17. I was at Ft Campbell, listening to the War Stories, listening to Awards being Read, funeral for dead Soldiers. When I went to Vietnam, I believe in the Spirit of the baynet, To Kill. Once I tasted sight of death, and effected me personally, I had a thirst to kill. I became anxious to get even
