  • It seems that currently between 10 and 30 percent of our returning veterans are suffering emotional problems requiring attention. For some reason British soldiers are only having problems at the rate of 10%. People do not have to be in combat to get the diagnosis. Support personnel also get it. It does not seem to make any difference if you have had a solid two parent family life as a child or not. There does not seem to be any rhyme nor reason why one person get it and another does not.

    I hope I have answered your question. I wish you best of luck. In the mean time stay in school and finish that. The Corps will like that.
