I'd like that think that places like GiP and other forums and all the media reports of how lovely the military is, will end up with really only the dregs of humanity in, and basically implode as a completely dysfunctional failure. Presumably after an unordered spice and meth fueled invasion of some random country that results in 7.3 million hours of a gay orgy snuff film taken by go pros uploaded to live leak in the aftermath.

Don't worry, there is a neverending, yearly supply of mass media to sway impressionable young 18 year olds into trying to be I'm sure back in ancient times a young Greek would hear legends of brave warriors that were led into battle by the king himself only to find himself cleaning up horse poo poo for Alexander's army or something. That messenger at the beginning of Gladiator that got beheaded? Watched too many battle reenactments at the Colosseum. Justin Tyme fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Sep 19, 2015 |

Lard Goat posted:gently caress it And if the guy shooting it hadn't sneezed right then, it would've been one of the other trucks. It's war, poo poo happens, sometimes it's pretty goddamn awful. Thing is, you chased the rabbit. You chased that fucker right down the hole, and it messed with your head bad the deeper you went. When it came time to figure out how to deal with it, you picked up the pretty cup that melts your face off and chugged it. Then you got found out in a way your bros couldn't save you from, got hosed, and then kept chasing the goddamned rabbit. Stop reading this for a second and look around you. Look at yourself in the mirror, right in the drat eyes. You don't want some war buddies to chill with and bullshit over a cup of coffee, you want someone to latch onto and offload your misery. They see it, they know what you want, and they don't want your needy drunken high as hell trainwreck extending into their lives, to their families and relationships, and they know that they can't save you from yourself. You don't have to be where you're at right now. Go get professional help, however you have to without hurting yourself or anyone else. Stop looking to people that can't help you to make things better. The rabbit hole doesn't ever end, it just gets darker and closer until you die. It's a long, hard climb back out, but that's where the sunlight is. Suntan Boy fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Sep 20, 2015 |

Lard Goat posted:gently caress it The poo poo you've seen has nothing on what you see yourself becoming. Take 5 minutes, breathe, and calm down. You need to talk to someone, like now. Not us, someone with credentials. There are lots of resources available for us, and are stickied. We aren't against you, here to make you look like an idiot, or whatever. But we can't help you the way the professionals can help you. All we can do is have a dick measuring contest on who had the worst roomie when they deployed.

Maybe it's just me, but even though the dudes I served with were my best friends I ever had, ever since I got out I hardly talk to them anymore at all. Sometimes you gotta move the gently caress on, they're all still edging the lawn and I'm getting an engineering degree.

I do this with people when I/they PCS or ETS even though I'm still in, there just isn't that much to talk about with people you don't live by, work with, or hang out with, on top of that I find that most of my army friends are just my friends due to proximity and having to select from the group of people that you spend time around all the time due to work/field/deployment.

I know what I should do, but after the way the army treated me for my drug problem, gently caress them. I literally had an army psychologist tell me to talk to my legs because I am so jittery. I had to sleep on a chair for two months because of what I did. The other guys that deployed with me went awol or started abusing tramadol of all things. The VA people I have talked to keep treating me like poo poo,even when I was homeless and their job was helping homeless vets. old wooden ships fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Sep 21, 2015 |

Additionally just because your med-board didn't go well while you were in doesn't mean that you can't try again for some disability. Using drugs and alcohol aren't a reason to exclude you from earned benefits, you can still get them.

Of course I don't, and you loving know it. It was illustrating the point that death in war is totally arbitrary; none of us know when our number is up, there's nothing you or he or anyone could've done to prevent it, and no one on your patrol was at fault, including you. Lard Goat posted:I know what I should do, but after the way the army treated me for my drug problem, gently caress them. I literally had an army psychologist tell me to talk to my legs because I am so jittery. "gently caress the Army" is something I can get behind. You need help, you know you need help, you're not in the army anymore, so you don't have to rely on them for it, so get help somewhere else. The VA varies from facility to facility, even person to person, true. The important part is that they're not the army, and you're still entitled to benefits through them. If you can, try another facility, or call a national hotline. The links a few posts up are good ones. Going to a VA ER for a psych or substance crisis is a good way to backdoor your way into a psych consult, at least. Alcoholics Anonymous is great, and often has groups just for vets. gently caress the army is fine. Quit loving yourself because you're pissed at the organization. GET HELP. Edit: Did you ever get your DD214? http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/ if you can't get to your OMPF anymore.

As already suggested give AA a shot. A lot of vets get sober there, and someone having a freak out or tough time in a meeting is nothing unusual and the people there are probably better equipped for it than the VA, realistically
