I do have PTSD. That's right and Iraq triggered it! Wow, what, do you think I am shocked. Not! I realized something was wrong on November 3, 2007. I had a real Flash-back on my feet for the first time in my life. I went off on a stranger I did not know and at my army drill. Oh! Know, that cannot happen on duty-of all things. I realized I did indeed have to get out of the military. I owed a soldier-my stripe. True, it wasn't my CPT, but is was a soldier just the same. I should have gotten out before this happened. Now, I can see I was worse off then I thought. I can see I was blessed to get to my Twenty Year Letter. I must thank all of my units for their compassion and their restraint at my problems. I made it to my Twenty Year Letter, by their grace. So, many soldiers do not get that grace. I had a long way to go to get to that letter. I must be grateful for their grace. People do not usually have, such grace, in themselves. I am going to keep going to counseling. I was told by the doctor, she believes it will all heal, and in time if I want to go back into the service I can. I realize, I like my freedom; and I am able to deal with life, without the military being a part of it. My CPT had said, I could and I should.

I can and will move on. There are other adventures to be had, without being in the military. I have my Security job and I want to do private investigations. There are many other things I want to do, and I cannot, if I go back into the military. I must put that behind me... if I am going to build our home-bases business, "JAS Enterprise." I want to get my preaching credentials too. I want to finish my art lessons and write children stories. James and I, want to go to my poetry convention the next time I am being given an award.

So, Off on this new journey I go! Checking all the possibilities along the way. I do not want to miss another opportunity to experience life on a grand scale. I intend to live it, to It's Fullest! Yep! That's me, that's right! It's All Good! As SGM Frazier would say.

God bless you All.
