Amazing

At the end discussing veteran suicide things, there def are other reasons. When I got out of the Army in 2018, going through the out processing process, the nco sold off the life insurance we had to keep by saying how it would still payout for suicide unlike the civ kind, and at 22 a day, you never know. To me, I was leaving the Army due to the mental/family toll hit, and the deal sounded good.

Another thing to others, the VA's help differs person to person. I've had great and bad. But by being so under staffed, it's not often to get a visit and the good seem to get burned out and leave. But one warning, once you admit to VA you got issues, it's in the federal government file. When I was in the hiring process for a DHS career, the medical section was red flagged for ptsd and I was auto booted for them having access to the VA files.
