pretty site. All I can say is WELCOME HOME YOU GUYS!

Where was I during the "Storm"
Thanks to my aggressive attitude and drive I was already on recruiting duty. I had the pleasure of walking into homes and trying to explain how joining the Marines was a good thing for young Johnny, while his mother kept talking about getting him back in a body bag. Or walking through the streets of a liberal Massachusetts town while citizens protested the war with chants of "No Blood For Oil." Oh yes, Desert Shield/Storm was a real boost to my morale. I could have been there in the fight with Saddam instead of the fight with some mom. I knew it was probably my only chance to get close to the action and it wasn't in the cards for me then or recently with Afghanistan. Again, I found myself in recruiting when the war on terrorism broke out. It was my fate, I guess. He's a thought. Next time I get orders to another recruiting assignment, war is eminent!!

NamGrunt...
Sorry for the delay in my response...
I am a disabled wartime veteran. I was discharged medically on Feb 1 1991.
I too do not believe in milking the system.
That is why I am Chief of Claims at the Board of Veterans Appeals!!
I have dealt with more PTSD claims than anyone I know.
Therapy is great if you get what you need out of it. Forget what anyone else is trying to get and work on being selfish...Work on you and you alone andyou will get as much out of it as you put in.
About those OTHER vets... Trust me I have had many clients from the same "group' with the same story. They were trying to get over on me...I kicked their asses out. I may be young, a woman, and not a combat vet but I am not gullable or stupid.
Bruce, if you were not on recruiting duty, we would never have met. Aren't you so lucky??
