Default Curtis...

Know I rub a lot of people wrong,...since too-damn-honest.
Regardless, hope that I also fall into that category of being somewhat helpful,...even though no Vietnam Vet?

Whatever, and given your writing, you most certainly seem like the best adjusted: "Psycho" I've ever run across.

That's all that ANYONE can ever do,...or ever be expected by ANYONE for that matter. Life goes on (or not) no matter what.

Curtis..... Hang on bro, life can be a bitch at times, As most of well know, you just have to learn how to ride it. You got Gracie and all your buds here. I am not an expert, but what I do is go fishing when I start to think too much about that other time. I know it's the wrong time of year where you live, but I understand that ice fishing is interesting, that is if the ice don't break.

Default Curtis My thoughts

The military dropped the code of conduct several years ago which I thought was a shame. There were several times in my life that I was pretty sure things were not going to go well for me. I always reverted to one of the lines in the code of conduct and it seemed to give me that extra strength to do what had to be done to survive.

I AM AN AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN I WILL NEVER SURRENDER OF MY OWN FREE WILL.

Never surrender to anyone or anything including PTSD. Always fight to the best of your abilities and NEVER SURRENDER.

The very simple fact that your are still here, still firmly grasping reality, and evidencing a positive attitude in your postings says it all. As a wise old Latin philosopher once told me, "Non illegitimus corborundum." In Texican, it's "Don't let the bastards grind you down."

Scouts Out!!
