Just wondering what the process is.
Well I was just awarded 30% service-connected disability for PTSD after being sent to Iraq for a year and watching people get blown up think thats enough?
For those who don't know, PTSD is not just STRESS. It is a mental disorder.
I actually served my four years of active duty and I am an OIF III Infantry Vet as well. I was down near Al Haswah. Heard of it? I received an honorable discharge from active duty in '06 and was put in the IRR for a year. Well, during that time I kept receiving letter upon letter requesting from the army requesting info and threatening a possible recall so I transfered to a reserve unit and changed my MOS in order to avoid being deployed again. Ever since I have done that my PTSD symptoms have grown worse. I have talked to a few different doctors and social workers and I can't seem to connect to any of them. So is it so irrational for me to want nothing to do with the army anymore?
