I’m a prior service guy. I read Voodoos books, in fact, I have everyone except “The Family Business” woo me haha
I’ve always just toughed shit out, but my mother wouldn’t stop worrying about shit and making things into a bigger deal than they were. I spoke to the psych to shut her up. So like every civilian psych, they tried to stuff some pills down my throat, and I refused to take anti-depressants, so they recommended some bi polar medicine that wasn’t an SSRI, which I wouldn’t take after a 10 minute phone call. I did it to shut them up.
Now I find out a prescription equals a diagnosis that disqualifies me?
I’m just pissed I’m 34 and now I’m struggling to get in. I mean Adam Brown was a crackhead and made it to DEVGRU because he had someone to vouch for him. I don’t have that. I just have a little girl I have to set an example for. I’m not trying to take away from him btw.
I’ve already suffered an injury that set me back 5 months. I’m working to get to SFAS shape.
I worked for two former GBs and after working for them I knew this was the path I wanted to go. I wanted to give back to a regiment that gave me so much inderictly and directly.
