Question
landend
Need some advice, Going to just state the facts with no elaboration from me.Please comment on What I need to do
. Joined army Aug 1972 (17 years old)
5th week of basic MST
Suicide attempt 2 days later
Made to go to Pt Field on second day
Awake for almost 3 days, scared it would happen again.
Went AWOLWent back home and went to my moms house, She showed me a letter she wrote to me that was returned to her,with the words on the flap that said AWOL/Homosexual, (I'm not)
Second attempt on my life, than the minister picked me up and checked me into the Mental Ward 11/29/1972
Minister called recruiter and inquired about what they were going to do.
I was arrested at hospital a week later on Dec 7th and escorted to Ft Riley
Was not treated for any mental conditions, paper work proves it
During the time there I was put in the confinement with the really hard core criminalsI was beaten to a point of unconscious and teeth knocked out
When they gave me a discharge examination ,I only saw the Nurse The form They ask you to fill out about your health ,I stated all the problems I had with the beating,( have copy of it from army file)I was on some kind of drug given to me at the mental ward the entire time
It states on the discharge from the mental ward Personality disorder The file was given to the Mps ,but not in my army file, But I was able to get one from the hospital, 38 years later.
I was taken to a room where my attorney and the officer sat together and with in 10 minutes I was discharged
.I was escort to the front gate and released, with hospital slippers, and no coat,Jan in Kansas, no money ,all stolen in the beating, along with all ID. again 17 years old
What is my case if I have one, I was told back in the early 1970,s when I called the veterans, that I was not a veteran and could not help me.
Seen A VSO and with in 2 minutes said that with a OTH discharge (For the good of the service) did not see a case.
Please help, I want to deal with it before all my life is gone,or too old to enjoy some of it.
