[Carys]

My medical discharge was for anxiety, and the GD got added when the base requested the records from my off base therapist. I actually said that I was on Effexor when I was doing a PHA for a deployment to Kuwait (which I was excited to see since I hadn't been there before.) I forgot to tell the AF about the VA putting me on it, and then I got bumped from the trip, and eventually the service with the GD sealing the deal. Sometimes I really miss it so bad that it hurts. I miss working on aircraft and knowing that I was making missions happen. I miss the feeling of belonging, and the experiences that you'll get no where else. 

But then I think about CBTs, commander's calls, mass punishment for DUIs, and all the bullshit....and then I light up a joint and think "I guess I'm ok with this."
