Well I didn’t get diagnosed till 2008, before that I was in the army for three years and deployed to afghanistan, worked with the navy reserve and active duty marines, worked construction and so on. Without my service connected disability this couldn’t have happened.
It’s been a long time now, from toting machine guns and jumping out of planes and blowing people up with a howitzer, to being stuck in CONUS and talking about my feelings…it’s been a huge pain in the ass.
