:cornut: Yeah that one got quietly retired from general immunizations and is now only for very specialized govt. controlled therapeutic treatment when they discovered that it was spreading HIV/AIDES.:yikes::yikes::frown2::frown2:

It is interesting to note that the young men and women in the military have more experience and responsibilities placed upon them than the general public can ever imagine. We had nineteen year old flight mechanics twisting wrenches on our aircraft and never gave it a thought. Not so on the outside. I remember when an Army aviator had a thousand hours, they were considered more than seasoned. On the outside a pilot with those hours would only touch the flight controls if they accidentally bumped into them and then would have to excuse themselves profusely. That was quite the wake up call.

 

:cornut: Yes but remember, HIV/AIDES didn't come along till the middle-late 1980s.

Thanks for reminding me Jason. Not something I wanted on my bucket list

 

Yup, I remember our anniversary. I just have to look it up couple times a year to make sure I remembered it correctly.

 

I wish I could live to see that day... ( not by any means dying from a disease, or planning anything...) but it is a proven fact that suicide is on a major uphill slope among vet's, hell 3 of my best friends have chosen to take their own lives since my last deployment in 2009... I have suffered some severe PTSD symptoms and even total blackouts since 2003 when I was driving the 3rd truck from the 101st to cross into Iraq... The VA keeps telling me "you need further evaluation"

 

:cornut: I've been on their list for a year but as a former CW2 PA (now they are commissioned officers in the Medical Specialty Corps with the PTs, OTs, and Dietitians) I can't commit suicide as it destroys the Kids and Grand Kids as they think that it was their fault and end up drug addicts and alcoholics themselves. I know that the VA is way behind but we have to find a way to drive on until the VA can clear their backlog. Keep going to the VA on line and especially go to your county VA office with any and all DD214's and medical records military and civilian. God Bless and Good Luck.

I"m going to forward this, "Did you serve" link to my daughter, she works at a VA Hospital. She's served in Iraq, one and a half tours, in the Army. Maybe she knows someway to help, she knows the system.

 

I agree and that's why we have to help build a network and help out as much as we can. As usual the govt is going to do anything fast.

 

There are a bunch of use in the thread who like to talk about things, so lets get the "Vets" page going again. Copy it in you control panel and then click on it a couple of times per day to check in. It will NOT give you a notice that anything new has been added, so you have to go there a look. Any new additions will be shown in "Blue" so look there. I put one in to get ya started.
