Yo -
I'm 59 yo male PTSD dude. So . . . .
Welcome. I never got cooked up or throat slid . . . nasty. I have a brother-in-law who got his throat slit by a broken bear bottle. He was watching a race related riot . . . somewhere he was stationed while in the navy . . . and a fella came up behind him and whacked him. He and his buddies found the guy in the head later and had their way with him.

I had a gun put to my head, had a gay dude slip up in the night and grab my dick after lights out, and had a laundry catch fire on ship after lights out. Made it hard sleeping, bad insomnia. Really bad nightmares too. The nightmares have gone away. All I have are good dreams now. Can't wait to go to sleep . . . when I can sleep anyway. I got more friends that come to visit me when I sleep than I can count or remember. One is a girl friend, Grace Larine. Very sweet girl.

So then, San Diego . . . I lived there from 6 mo to 4 1/2 yrs old. 1948 to 1952. Nice back then. Then I was stationed there in the Navy as main port down at the Naval base, sure you know where that is. USS Ogden LPD-5. Probably still stationed there. The gun to the head, fire and dick grabbing incident all happened on that ship. My ship mates . . . great bunch. Oh, ya. My first week on the ship I got to witness the brutal beating of a gay sailor and got threatened with the same thing.

This was back 1968 and judges were giving criminals the option of going into the service or spending time in jail. Thanks your honor . . . really damaged the quality and integrity of the crew. Was rather stressful being basically on a chain gang . . . I got a rating E-4 and got transfered out as fast as I could. Still what a bunch of lamo's . . . these criminals had uses some times. Like the guy who threatened to beat me up, and who beat up the gay guy once went down to a welding team while we were in dry dock . . . . it was after lights out and they were using an air hammer to chop out some hatch . . . course it echo'ed horrible all over the ship . . anyway . . . he went back there and threatened to kill the guy making the noise. Now that is the kind of effective and decisive action that makes the us navy great.

Last time I drove through the area several months ago in LA. . . man that traffic is brutal. A free for all. Such assholes I've never seen . . . it was like drive aggressive or get run off the road.

So what's up . . . how did this getting cooked happen.
