I imagine this is a little different from soldiers coming home from a deployment, but to a greater extent. How is your healthcare after everything you have done? Have you been pretty well taken care of? And do you miss being over there?

God. This is great that someone wants to make sure you are alright. This shit doesn't happen in the military. Someone you know gets shot...that sucks....CM.

Not really a question. More that I am happy for you that someone was there immediately following the incident.

Its not so much the PTSD I was referring to. Because, while they are working with soldiers to help them with it, its still more of a "side effect" of the job.

We had an incident overseas where there was a shooting involving someone in our unit and a "friendly". It wasn't FF. Someone we were helping. Anyways. This incident happened. A great guy lost his life, and after resolving the incident, we were supposed to continue on with business as usual.

I hope this is an isolated thing and doesn't happen in the service too often if at all. That being said, I am genuinely glad they had someone with you to help immediately following the situation.

Fair enough. I guess we just don't like what we are provided, and desire something else. They will constipate you. Apparently, that is what the gum is for.

Our MREs/TOTMs suck. You guys probably have equivalent or better food.
