| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

jim, i never thought of why soldiers dont call often, as to think as if it would be their last call. nice persepective, thank you.
i remember when jed was over there, when a attack happened they had a 24hr period where they couldn't call till the decesed (dead) persons family was contacted, especially if it was in the same company. but thats the united states army. there was a time i didn't hear from him for over 4-5 days, no missions, i started to get worried, but i remember what he said, NO news is GOOD news. |

Yes we were teasing Colin that he might as well be in Saskatchewan!  Saskatchewan is an area of Canada which can also have very extreme weather, very cold in winter and very hot in summer, and often extreme rapid changes. |

Yes Jen that was quite the gun battle they had with the Taliban. Well done to them, though worrisome for you no doubt.
Jim. |

Yeh Jim JJ is a Raafie so hopefully he wont have to fire his weapon as he doesnt do patrolling. He said he can hear the gunfights at night when he is in bed?
I think his main problem at the moment is there is only yank stuff on TV  |
