He began his career as a healthy, cocky, young recruit, but finished it as an ill, nearly broken in spirit, bitter man. The result of countless encounters with high stress, misery, and human suffering. PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a chronic condition that robbed him of his mental and physical health. He was diagnosed in 1996, but not told he had it until 2007. He refused treatment. By 2013, he was in bad shape. When he could sleep, he was sleeping on a couch with a loaded gun next to his locked door. Nightmares kept him awake most of the time. He started a treatment program, but checked out after week eight. Unprompted, he decided to write his stories down. The nightmares receded. These are those stories “Straightforward and gripping with a distinctive voice.” “Compelling and brutally honest” “Disturbing at times.”
