[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 510329, member: 1157"] Youngest is dating a guy in the Army now, who's been to Iraq/Afghanistan (I can't remember which, to be honest). She told me he has some PTSD. But she also told me that he says he can't let his superiors know or seek help for it, because they will kick him out. He says he's seen it happen to too many of his friends; they seek help for PTSD and end up being medically discharged. So he just deals with it as best he can, afraid to lose his job. Thankfully, she says his is mild... he gets nervous under bridges (because of IEDs), and has some nightmares, but no behavior that has frightened her. Whether this is statistically real or only his (and his friends') perception, it's still sad and obviously damaging. No one should be afraid to seek help for themselves for fear of losing their job. Especially when your job is part of the reason you got that way. [/QUOTE]
