So about 10 years ago I was injured and was told I wouldn't ever walk again. Then 6 months later after I kicked ass in recovery I was told that I wouldn't be able to walk normally and my gate would ruin my knee and other bull crap. So a year after that I was able to outpace younger soldiers in PT and keep up with them . So I continue being the best I can and to never shitbag it in my career. fast forward to the end of my contract and I started to develop other medical problems and none of the doctors I saw in the Army would give me a straight answer. Frustrated with this I kept feeling worse and worse with declining health. So then my peers and some leadership started ragging on me for being a shitbag and not keeping up with them and saying it was because I wasn't reenlisting and would be leaving soon. Well I took all this in stride and never whined about it to the Inspector general or any leadership. So eventually I did my PCS and contract ended and I came back home after 10 years in the Army .
Im not bitter but my body is broken and now I have other health issues I know are related to my time in service from injuries sustained. I would rather have my health back then my purple heart. I am very proud of my service and wouldnt change a thing but I wanna live to be old. Thanks for reading
